Abstract

Traditional AI-based Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDS) typically rely on centralised analysis of collected data, which is impractical and raises privacy concerns in distributed IoT networks. Federated Learning (FL) has been explored as a method to preserve privacy, enabling decentralised model training in AI NIDS. Although FL minimises data transfers, it still suffers from high communication overhead and increased computational costs that emerge from the underlying Deep Learning (DL) model. FedHDC-IDS, a novel approach that combines Federated Learning (FL) and Hyperdimensional Computing (HDC) to enhance the security of IoT networks through efficient collaborative learning while preserving user privacy. HDC offers lightweight, energyefficient learning with fast convergence, making it well-suited for resource-constrained IoT devices. Our framework uses Radial Basis Function (RBF) encoding to efficiently represent data and FedAvg for model aggregation.
