Generative AI and Federated Learning for Intrusion Detection Systems: A Survey

Jul 01, 2026

This study addresses the challenges confronting intrusion detection systems (IDS), including dynamically evolving attacks, data scarcity, class imbalance, and the difficulty of centralized training under strict privacy constraints. It presents a systematic review of the integration of generative artificial intelligence—encompassing generative adversarial networks (GANs), diffusion models, and large language models—with federated learning in IDS applications. The work covers key areas such as anomaly detection, synthetic data generation, data augmentation, and privacy-preserving distributed training. For the first time, it offers a structured synthesis of recent advances at the intersection of these two technological paradigms and outlines promising future directions, including domain-specific large language models and federated benchmarking frameworks, thereby establishing a novel paradigm for privacy-sensitive, distributed cybersecurity solutions.

NetDiffuser: Deceiving DNN-Based Network Attack Detection Systems with Diffusion-Generated Adversarial Traffic

Mar 09, 2026

This work proposes NetDiffuser, a novel framework for generating natural adversarial examples against deep learning-based network intrusion detection systems (NIDS), which are vulnerable to such attacks yet resistant to existing adversarial traffic generation methods. NetDiffuser innovatively integrates feature disentanglement with diffusion models: it first identifies semantically meaningful and relatively independent features within network traffic through feature decomposition, then leverages a diffusion model to inject perturbations that preserve semantic consistency while maximizing realism. The resulting adversarial samples exhibit high fidelity and effectiveness across diverse NIDS architectures. Experimental results on three benchmark datasets demonstrate that NetDiffuser achieves up to a 29.93% increase in attack success rate and reduces the AUC-ROC of adversarial sample detection by as much as 0.534, significantly outperforming current state-of-the-art baselines.

A data-driven discretized CS:GO simulation environment to facilitate strategic multi-agent planning research

Sep 08, 2025

This work addresses the challenge of simultaneously achieving strategic abstraction and environmental fidelity in multi-agent simulation. We propose DECOY, a data-driven discrete simulator that replaces low-level physical modeling (e.g., aiming, shooting) with a waypoint-based state-action discretization framework. A neural predictive model is trained directly on professional CS:GO match data to learn mappings between high-level movement decisions and tactical outcomes. Our key contribution is the first demonstration that high-fidelity combat replays—statistically indistinguishable from original gameplay at the strategic level—can be reconstructed solely from coarse-grained mobility decisions, without simulating micro-actions. Evaluation shows an average trajectory similarity exceeding 92% against ground-truth game traces. DECOY is open-sourced, providing an efficient, interpretable, and scalable simulation platform for long-horizon multi-agent planning research in 3D environments.
