The futuristic energy grids comprise of predominantly renewable generation, to align with the sustainable development goals. This would require integration of renewable energy sources at different levels of the power system out of which, consumers turning into power producers, often referred to as prosumers is an important aspect. Prosumers who generate excess power beyond self-consumption […]

Rec-Def: A Recommendation-based Defence Mechanism for Privacy Preservation in Federated Learning Systems

November 19, 2023
Comments off

An emergence of attention and regulations on consumer privacy can be observed over the recent years with the ubiquitous availability of IoT systems handling personal data. Federated Learning (FL) arises as a privacy-preserved Machine Learning (ML) technique where data can be kept private within these devices without transmitting to third parties. Yet, many privacy attacks […]

From Opacity to Clarity: Leveraging XAI for Robust Network Traffic Classification

November 19, 2023
Comments off

A wide adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be observed in recent years over networking to provide zero-touch, full autonomy of services towards the next generation Beyond 5G (B5G)/6G. However, AI-driven attacks on these services are a major concern in reaching the full potential of this future vision. Identifying how resilient the AI models are […]

Privacy-preserved Collaborative Federated Learning Platform for Industrial Internet of Things

November 19, 2023
Comments off

Federated learning (FL) is an intriguing approach to privacy-preserving collaborative learning. Decentralised FL is achieving increased favour for investigation due to the mitigation of vulnerability for a single point of failure and more controllability for end users over their models. However, many existing decentralised FL systems face limitations, such as privacy concerns, latency in aggregation, […]

FL-TIA: Novel Time Inference Attacks on Federated Learning

November 19, 2023
Comments off

Federated Learning (FL) is an emerging privacy-preserved distributed Machine Learning (ML) technique where multiple clients can contribute to training an ML model without sharing private data. Even though FL offers a certain level of privacy by design, recent works show that FL is vulnerable to numerous privacy attacks. One of the key features of FL […]
