Method based on contrastive learning for fine-grained unknown malicious traffic classification
In order to protect against unknown threats and evasion attacks, a new method based on contrastive learning for fine-grained unknown malicious traffic classification was proposed.Specifically, based on variational auto-encoder (CVAE), it included two classification stages, Fireplace Set and cross entropy and reconstruction errors were used for know
