Federated inception-multi-head attention models for cyber-attacks detection
Abstract
With the proliferation of internet of things (IoT) devices, ensuring the security of these interconnected systems has become a critical concern. Cyberattacks targeting IoT devices pose significant threats to individuals and organizations due to the generation of vast amounts of data across many connected devices, which traditional centralized methods cannot solve. Federated learning (FL) could be a promising solution to mitigate privacy concerns associated with centralized approaches and address cybersecurity concerns. This paper uses FL and deep learning (DL) approaches to cybersecurity in IoT applications. The goal of cyber security is achieved by forming a federation of acquired and shared models at the head of the various participants. We use inception time and multi-head attention (CNN) algorithm based on FL to detect cyber-attacks and avoid data privacy leaks under two distribution modes, namely IID and Non-IID. In contrast, the FedAvg and FedMA algorithms aggregate local model updates. A global model is produced after several communication rounds between the IoT devices and the model parameter server. Cyber threats are simulated using edge-IIoT datasets. Experiment results show that the federated inception model's best global accuracy was 93, 91%, and 93, 49% using multi-head attention.
