Fraud Detection Using Machine Learning Models and Encryption Techniques
摘要
In the era of increasing digital transactions and data exchange, safeguarding financial assets and data from fraudulent activities is a critical concern. Although existing algorithms have shown success, they face challenges in achieving a commendable level of precision for encrypted data. This research investigates the integration of Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) into Logistic Regression and XGBoost models for credit card fraud detection, addressing a gap in existing literature. The results indicate that FHE does not significantly compromise model accuracy, with Logistic Regression and XGBoost achieving comparable performance on encrypted and plain text data. Real-world applicability is demonstrated using the ULB and Vesta datasets. The findings contribute to the discourse on privacy-preserving machine learning and offer insights for secure credit card fraud detection.
