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.

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.

Fast Preemptive Robustification: High-Frequency Response Anti-Aligns Shared Vulnerability

The paper introduces Fast Preemptive Robustification (FPR), a lightweight defense that enhances the robustness of deep neural networks against transferable adversarial attacks. By sharpening Laplacian responses through a single 3×3 channel‑wise convolution, FPR eliminates the need for surrogate models, iterative optimization, or specialized training. Experiments show that FPR lowers untargeted attack success rates by 12.7% and reduces targeted attack success from 10.7% to 4.1%.
