Outline

This paper proposes an intrusion detection system based on federated learning to address security vulnerabilities in Internet of Things (IoMT) healthcare systems. While IoMT enables early disease diagnosis and personalized treatment through real-time health data collection, the sensitivity of the data makes it vulnerable to security threats. In this paper, we address these challenges by implementing artificial neural network-based intrusion detection, federated learning-based privacy protection, and enhanced model interpretability using explainable artificial intelligence (XAI). Using network and medical datasets that simulate various attack types, we compare the effectiveness of the proposed framework with that of a centralized approach. We demonstrate that the federated learning approach performs similarly to the centralized approach while simultaneously preserving privacy and providing model explainability.

Takeaways, Limitations

Takeaways:
We demonstrate that a federated learning-based intrusion detection system can simultaneously achieve privacy protection and high detection performance in an IoMT environment.
Leveraging explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) to ensure model transparency and increase trustworthiness.
We present a practical approach to improving IoMT security without compromising performance while enhancing privacy compared to centralized systems.
Limitations:
The evaluation was conducted using a simulated dataset, rather than experimental results in a real IoMT environment.
Although we evaluated detection performance for various types of attacks, generalization performance to complex and diverse real-world attacks requires further research.
Due to the nature of federated learning, the learning speed may be slower than centralized learning.
The explanatory power of the XAI technique may not be sufficient or may be difficult to interpret.
