Abstract
The proliferation of consumer networks has increased vulnerabilities to network intrusions, emphasizing the critical need for robust intrusion detection systems (IDS). The data-driven Artificial Intelligence (AI) approach has gained attention for enhancing IDS capabilities to deal with emerging security threats. However, these AI-based IDS face challenges in scalability and privacy preservation. More importantly, they are time-consuming and may perform poorly on high-dimensional and complex data due to the lack of computational resources. To address these shortcomings, in this paper, we introduce a novel framework, called Quantum Federated Learning IDS (QFL-IDS), that merges Quantum Computing (QC) with Federated Learning (FL) to allow for an efficient, robust, and privacy-preserving approach for detecting network intrusions in consumer networks. Leveraging the decentralized nature of FL, QFL-IDS enables multiple consumer devices to collaboratively train a global intrusion detection model while preserving the privacy of individual user data. Furthermore, we leverage the computational power of quantum computing to improve the efficiency of model training and inference processes. We demonstrate the efficacy of our framework through extensive experiments. The obtained results show significant improvements in detection accuracy and computational efficiency compared to the current traditional centralized and federated learning approaches. This makes QFL-IDS a promising framework to cope with the new emerging security threats in a timely and effective manner.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
