Federated learning-enabled intrusion detection framework utilizing dynamic programming based client selection and an improved linknet model in edge computing environment
摘要
Intrusion detection in heterogeneous edge and IoT environments is challenging due to resource-constrained devices, non-IID data distributions, and the need to preserve data privacy without centralized data sharing. To address these challenges, this paper presents FL–ILN, a federated intrusion detection framework that integrates dynamic programming-based client selection, an Improved LinkNet model, median aggregation, and a hybrid feature representation using statistical and raw features. The framework also employs a modified quantile loss to improve convergence stability and handle class imbalance during distributed training. Experiments on the UNSW-NB15 dataset demonstrate that the proposed framework achieves strong intrusion detection performance, with 0.968 accuracy, 0.028 false positive rate, and a 5.9% mean accuracy improvement over DenseNet. These results indicate that FL–ILN provides an effective, robust, and communication-efficient solution for privacy-preserving intrusion detection in edge computing environments.
