A GAN-Based Framework for Robust DDoS Attack Detection

The paper introduces a GAN‑based framework for detecting DDoS attacks that are designed to evade traditional security systems. It combines Random Forests, Deep Neural Ensembles, and Transformer models trained on the CICDDoS2019 dataset with synthetic adversarial traffic generated by a WGAN‑GP. Experiments show that this hybrid training significantly improves detection accuracy and resilience against unseen adversarial traffic, and real‑world tests confirm its practical effectiveness.

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.

On Identifying Adversarial Intent Injection in AI-Native 6G Networks

The paper introduces a threat model for malicious intent injection in AI‑native 6G networks and examines four injection strategies: stealth‑mode, random distribution, increasing frequency, and decreasing frequency. It proposes a dual‑path detection framework combining a CNN with TF‑IDF features for supervised detection and an AutoEncoder trained on benign data for one‑class detection. Evaluation shows the framework achieves higher accuracy (0.97) and F1‑score (0.98) than the state‑of‑the‑art baseline.
