Probabilistic Robustness-driven Universal Adversarial Perturbations with Explainability against Deep Reinforcement Learning-based Intrusion Detection System

The paper introduces a new method for generating universal adversarial perturbations (UAPs) against deep reinforcement learning (DRL)-based intrusion detection systems (IDS). It leverages Probabilistic Robustness (PR) as a post‑hoc metric to guide UAP creation, integrating PR directly into the optimization objective. The authors further develop PX‑UAP, which incorporates explainable AI (XAI) to shape perturbations within realistic domain constraints, and provide a theoretical analysis of its design. Experiments show PX‑UAP outperforms existing UAP techniques in attack effectiveness.

Jev-IDS: System One Models for Network Intrusion Detection

JEV-IDS is an open experimental general network intrusion detection system that uses the Jev System One Model to detect zero‑day intrusions even when labeled data are scarce. The system processes one flow per request and asks the model two questions: a binary attack probability and a finite‑choice traffic category. In tests on a 300‑flow NSL‑KDD pilot split, JEV-IDS achieved an F1‑score of 0.859, precision of 0.941, recall of 0.790, and a novel‑attack recall of 0.838, while being 4.8 times faster and 3.8 times cheaper than GPT‑5.6 Luna and producing 15 times fewer false alarms than a low‑data Random Forest.
