A Novel Enhanced Approach for Security and Privacy Preserving in IoT Devices with Federal Learning Technique

The Internet of Things (IoT) has revolutionized our lives, but it has also introduced significant security and privacy challenges. The vast amount of data collected by these devices, often containing sensitive information, makes them prime targets for cyberattacks. Traditional security methods struggle to keep pace with the evolving threat landscape of the interconnected IoT world. In response, this paper explores the transformative potential of federated learning (FL) in safeguarding both the privacy and security of IoT devices. FL keeps data on individual devices, only sharing updated models, not raw data, thus protecting user privacy and eliminating the need for a central data storage server, which reduces the risk of data breaches and security vulnerabilities. The effectiveness of the proposed model is evaluated using established open-source datasets like NSL-KDD and UNSW NB15, ensuring real-world applicability. Analysis of the dataset's features enabled the development of a model utilizing federated learning. Notably, the proposed model achieved superior performance with FL in detecting attacks on IoT networks. Furthermore, this research investigates the transformative potential of FL to address the inherent security and privacy challenges plaguing traditional, centralized data collection methods in the ever-expanding realm of IoT devices. FL empowers collaborative learning on distributed datasets, allowing devices to collectively improve security without compromising user privacy. The findings of this study demonstrate the promise of FL as a secure and privacy-preserving solution for the future of IoT.
