Abstract

Whether as a result of cybersecurity systems’ weakness or their absence, we have observed an increase in computer breaches across our communication networks globally in recent years. As a result, an intrusion detection system (IDS) is required. An IDS is a piece of software that keeps an eye out for malicious attempts aimed at stealing or censoring data or altering network protocols on a single computer or a network of computers. The majority of IDS approaches have evolved through time, but they are still unable to address the dynamic and intricate nature of cyberattacks on computer networks. Therefore, effective techniques are needed, which can lead to a greater detection rate. In order to determine which system is superior, this study compares the IDSs of the Classical SVM with the Quantum SVM.
