Detection of ransomware attacks using federated learning based on the CNN model
This addresses ransomware threats in smart grids, but it is incremental as it applies existing methods (CNN and federated learning) to a new domain.
The paper tackled ransomware detection in digital substations by transforming binary data into images and using a CNN model with federated learning, achieving a high accuracy rate in experiments.
Computing is still under a significant threat from ransomware, which necessitates prompt action to prevent it. Ransomware attacks can have a negative impact on how smart grids, particularly digital substations. In addition to examining a ransomware detection method using artificial intelligence (AI), this paper offers a ransomware attack modeling technique that targets the disrupted operation of a digital substation. The first, binary data is transformed into image data and fed into the convolution neural network model using federated learning. The experimental findings demonstrate that the suggested technique detects ransomware with a high accuracy rate.
