Federated Learning Based Network Intrusion Detection Model

The advancement of information technology is closely associated with various aspects of daily life, providing people with services for a comfortable life. As the network infrastructure expands to accommodate these services, it inevitably creates several vulnerable points susceptible to cyberattacks. Researchers have gained significant momentum by focusing on deep learning-based network intrusion detection. The development of a robust network intrusion detection system based on deep learning necessitates a substantial volume of data. Traditionally, collected data for centralized learning were transmitted to a central server for training the model. However, this approach causes concern regarding the potential compromise of the personal information contained within the raw data, thereby precipitating legal implications for vendors. Therefore, this paper proposes an ImprovedFedAvg, which enhances the existing FedAvg algorithm for network intrusion detection model. This method uses the full advantages of federated learning for data privacy preservation and significantly reduces the transmission of model weights while improving the performance of the model.
