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
