摘要

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is widely adopted in critical sectors such as manufacturing, healthcare, and energy, but its openness exposes networks to severe cyber threats. Existing machine learning (ML)-based intrusion detection systems (IDS) provide strong detection capabilities but depend on centralised data and remain vulnerable to adversarial manipulation, while blockchain ensures data integrity but lacks adaptive intelligence. To address these shortcomings, we propose a Blockchain-Integrated Federated Transfer Learning (FTL) Framework for real-time IIoT intrusion detection. A custom MQTT-driven IIoT dataset (126,354 instances, 43 features) is developed with both real and simulated attacks (DoS, DDoS, brute force, port scan, malware). The framework employs Ethereum smart contracts for decentralised authentication, tamper-proof access control, and immutable anomaly logging, while FTL enables privacy-preserving, cross-domain model training. Evaluation of classical ML classifiers and anomaly detection methods shows LightGBM achieves 99.68% accuracy, 99.7% precision, 99.6% recall, and 99.65% F1-score. Security and ablation analyses confirm resilience against poisoning, tampering, and replay attacks, with low latency ( 120 ms). The proposed hybrid approach outperforms ML-only and blockchain-only baselines, offering a scalable, secure, and real-time IDS for IIoT infrastructures.
