Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This paper proposes the Server–Client Machine Learning Intrusion Detection System (SC-MLIDS), a novel fusion framework designed to enhance security in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), which are inherently vulnerable to various security threats due to their distributed nature and resource constraints . Traditional Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs) often face challenges with high computational demands and privacy issues. SC-MLIDS addresses these problems by integrating Federated Learning (FL) with a multi-sensor fusion approach to implementing two layers of defence that operate independently of specific attack types. Moreover, this framework leverages a server–client architecture to efficiently manage and process data from sensor nodes , sink nodes, and gateways within the network. The core innovation of SC-MLIDS lies in its dual model aggregation algorithms at the gateway: one assesses model performance and weight, while the other uses majority voting to integrate predictions from both client and server models. As a result, this approach reduces redundant data transmissions and enhances detection accuracy, making it more effective than conventional methods in WSNs. Our proposed framework outperforms current state-of-the-art techniques, achieving F1-scores of 99.78% and 98.80% for the two aggregation algorithms, namely, Weighted Score and Majority Voting. This validation demonstrates the effectiveness of SC-MLIDS in providing accurate intrusion detection and robust data management.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
