AI'S Contribution to Ubiquitous Systems and Pervasive Networks Security - Reinforcement Learning vs Recurrent Networks

Reinforcement learning and recurrent networks are two emerging machine-learning paradigms. The first learns the best actions an agent needs to perform to maximize its rewards in a particular environment and the second has the specificity to use an internal state to remember previous analysis results and consider them for the current one. Research into RL and recurrent network has been proven to have made a real contribution to the protection of ubiquitous systems and pervasive networks against intrusions and malwares. In this paper, a systematic review of this research was performed in regard to various attacks and an analysis of the trends and future fields of interest for the RL and recurrent network-based research in network security was complete.
