Cognitive Graph Intelligence for Adaptive and Robust DDoS Attack Detection in Next Generation Networks

The paper introduces GraphGAN, a Graph-based Generative Adversarial Network designed to detect Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks in next-generation networks. It transforms sequential traffic flows into k‑nearest neighbor graphs, uses a generator to create realistic minority samples, and employs Graph Convolutional Networks for both discrimination and final classification. Experiments on four benchmark datasets demonstrate that GraphGAN outperforms existing methods in accuracy, precision, and recall, especially when data are scarce.

Diff-DDoS: Realistic Cyber-Physical Attack Synthesis and Robust Detection for 5G-Enabled CPS Using Tabular Diffusion Models

Diff‑DDoS is a three‑phase framework that uses tabular diffusion models to generate realistic cyber‑physical attacks and strengthen DDoS detectors for 5G‑enabled systems. First, a CNN cell‑level detector is trained on call detail record (CDR) grids; second, a tabular denoising diffusion probabilistic model (TabDDPM) learns normal CDR aggregates to synthesize realistic attacks; third, adversarial diffusion training (ADT) iteratively produces hard, distribution‑preserving samples that harden the detector. On the Milano CDR dataset, ResNet50 with ADT achieves near‑perfect F1‑scores across multiple attack scenarios, outperforming existing synthetic‑data methods such as CTGAN.
