    Robust Wireless Network Anomaly Detection with Collaborative Adversarial Autoencoders
    Katzef, M ; Cullen, AC ; Alpcan, T ; Leckie, C (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2023)
    Anomaly detection is often deployed in centralised systems, for which critical failure points exist. However, the rising availability of low-cost, wireless-connected devices introduces opportunities for new anomaly detection techniques that leverage more robust topologies. In this paper, we propose a novel collaborative training scheme for anomaly detection models that involves sharing machine learning models amongst devices for incremental training. Using the Adversarial Autoencoder architecture, pseudo-rehearsal, and gossip-based communication, our framework provides all participating devices with a structured representation of other devices' data, so that training can continue even in the event of a device failure, with a 43 % smaller performance degradation than state of the art alternatives. Under both optimal conditions and those with device failure, our model consistently exhibits better anomaly detection performance.

    Detection of Anomalous Communications with SDRs and Unsupervised Adversarial Learning
    Weerasinghe, S ; Erfani, SM ; Alpcan, T ; Leckie, C ; Riddle, J ; Cherkaoui, S ; Andersson, K ; AlTurjman, F (IEEE, 2019-02-08)
    Software-defined radios (SDRs) with substantial cognitive (computing) and networking capabilities provide an opportunity for observing radio communications in an area and potentially identifying malicious rogue agents. Assuming a prevalence of encryption methods, a cognitive network of such SDRs can be used as a low-cost and flexible scanner/sensor array for distributed detection of anomalous communications by focusing on their statistical characteristics. Identifying rogue agents based on their wireless communications patterns is not a trivial task, especially when they deliberately try to mask their activities. We address this problem using a novel framework that utilizes adversarial learning, non-linear data transformations to minimize the rogue agent's attempts at masking their activities, and game theory to predict the behavior of rogue agents and take the necessary countermeasures.
