Abstract
In light of the ongoing transformation in the automotive industry, driven by the adoption of 5G and the proliferation of connected vehicles, network security has emerged as a critical concern. This is particularly true for the implementation of cutting-edge 5G services such as Network Slicing (NS), Software Defined Networking (SDN), and Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC). As these advanced services become more prevalent, they introduce new vulnerabilities that can be exploited by cyber attackers. Consequently, Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDSs) are pivotal in safeguarding vehicular networks against cyber threats. Still, their efficacy hinges on extensive data, which often contains sensitive and confidential information such as vehicle positions and owner’s behaviors, raising privacy concerns. To address this issue, we propose a Privacy-Preserving Self-Supervised Learning (SSL) based Intrusion Detection System for 5G-V2X networks. The majority of works in the literature relying on Federated Learning (FL) and often overlook data labeling on the end devices. Our methodology leverages SSL to pre-train NIDSs using unlabeled data. Post-training is then performed with a minimal amount of labeled data, which can be carefully crafted by an expert. This novel technique allows the training of NIDSs with huge datasets without compromising privacy, consequently enhancing the efficacy of cyber-attack protection. Our innovative SSL pre-training methodology has yielded remarkable results, demonstrating a substantial improvement of up to 9% in accuracy across a diverse range of training dataset sizes, including scenarios with as few as 200 data samples. Our approach highlights the potential to enhance automotive network security significantly, showcasing groundbreaking achievements that set a new standard in the field of automotive cybersecurity.
