TL;DR

Experimental results on standard intrusion detection benchmarks show that the proposed framework improves detection performance under limited-label conditions while reducing training time, memory usage, and inference latency relative to dense-attention baselines, indicating that the proposed framework offers a practical balance among detection accuracy, computational efficiency, and explainability, making it suitable for deployment in resource-constrained and real-time network security environments.

Graph-guided contrastive transformer architecture for robust and explainable network intrusion detection

Intrusion detection systems (IDS) are very instrumental in protecting contemporary network infrastructures against the ever-advancing cyberattacks. Conventional signature-based and machine learning-enabled IDS solutions frequently have difficulty when it comes to high false-positive rates, inability to flexibly adapt t...

X-SPUR: Explainable Surprisal-Based Protocol-Aware Unsupervised Reasoning for Automotive Ethernet Intrusion Detection

Automotive Ethernet carries heterogeneous multi-protocol traffic in modern in-vehicle networks, where labeled attack data are rarely available and the strongest prior unsupervised detector still relies on handcrafted traffic features. This article presents X-SPUR, an explainable, surprisal-based, protocol-aware unsuper...

Reference-Assisted Learner-Aligned Distributed Stacking for Edge Intrusion Detection in the Industrial Internet of Things

Networked manufacturing couples sensors, programmable logic controllers, and industrial gateways to production that cannot simply be paused. An intrusion detector in this setting must control false alarms and edge-resource use as well as detect attacks. Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) edge nodes add three practica...
