Federated Explainable AI System for Privacy-Preserving Cyber Threat Detection and Secure Intelligence Sharing
Abstract: An explainable and privacy-preserving intrusion detection framework is presented for cyber threat identification in network traffic environments. The system employs a deep neural network classifier to distinguish normal and malicious traffic flows, achieving an overall detection accuracy of 97% on evaluated datasets. Network traffic features undergo protocol alignment, address normalization, and feature scaling to maintain consistency with the training distribution. Model interpretability is enabled through SHAP-based feature attribution, providing quantitative explanations of feature contributions to classification decisions. The framework supports batch traffic analysis through a Flask-based web interface and integrates automated alerting via email and SMS when attack rates exceed predefined thresholds. Experimental results demonstrate reliable threat detection, interpretability, and operational suitability for real-time cybersecurity monitoring while maintaining data confidentiality and analytical transparency.
