Abstract Wireless networks have evolved over the years and they have become some of the most prominent communication media. These networks generally transmit large volumes of information at any given time. This has engendered a number of security threats and privacy concerns. This paper presents a Deep Long Short-Term Memory (DLSTM) based classifier for wireless intrusion detection system (IDS). Using the NSL-KDD dataset, we compare the DLSTM IDS to existing methods such as Deep Feed Forward Neural Networks, Support Vector Machines, k-Nearest Neighbors, Random Forests and Naive Bayes. The experimental results suggest that the DLSTM IDS outperformed existing approaches.
