Network traffic classification, a task to classify network traffic and identify its type, is the most fundamental step to improve network services and manage modern networks. Classical machine learning and deep learning method have developed well in the field of network traffic classification. However, there are still two major challenges. One is how to protect the privacy of users traffic data, and the other is that it is difficult to obtain labeled data in reality. In this paper, we propose a novel approach using federated semi-supervised learning for network traffic classification. In our approach, the federated servers and several clients work together to train a global classification model. Among them, unlabeled data is used on the client, and labeled data is used on the server. Moreover, we use two traffic subflow sampling methods: simple sampling and incremental sampling for data preprocessing. The experimental results in the QUIC dataset show that the accuracy of our federated semi-supervised approach can reach 91.08% and 97.81% when using the simple sampling method and incremental sampling method respectively. The experimental results also show that the accuracy gap between our method and the centralized training method is minimal, and it can effectively protect users privacy and does not require a large amount of labeled data.

Monitoring network traffic to identify content, services, and applications is an active research topic in network traffic control systems. While modern firewalls provide the capability to decrypt packets, this is not appealing for privacy advocates.
Hence, identifying any information from encrypted traffic is a challenging task. Nonetheless, previous work has identified machine learning methods that may enable application and service identification. The process involves high level feature extraction from network packet data then training a robust machine learning classifier for traffic identification. We propose a classification technique using an ensemble of deep learning architectures on packet, payload, and inter-arrival time sequences. To our knowledge, this is the first time such deep learning architectures have been applied to the Server Name Indication (SNI) classification problem. Our ensemble model beats the state of the art machine learning methods and our up-to-date model can be found on github: url{https://github.com/niloofarbayat/NetworkClassification}
We consider the task of learning a classifier from the feature space $mathcal{X}$ to the set of classes $mathcal{Y} = {0, 1}$, when the features can be partitioned into class-conditionally independent feature sets $mathcal{X}_1$ and $mathcal{X}_2$. W
e show the surprising fact that the class-conditional independence can be used to represent the original learning task in terms of 1) learning a classifier from $mathcal{X}_2$ to $mathcal{X}_1$ and 2) learning the class-conditional distribution of the feature set $mathcal{X}_1$. This fact can be exploited for semi-supervised learning because the former task can be accomplished purely from unlabeled samples. We present experimental evaluation of the idea in two real world applications.
This paper proposes to develop a network phenotyping mechanism based on network resource usage analysis and identify abnormal network traffic. The network phenotyping may use different metrics in the cyber physical system (CPS), including resource an
d network usage monitoring, physical state estimation. The set of devices will collectively decide a holistic view of the entire system through advanced image processing and machine learning methods. In this paper, we choose the network traffic pattern as a study case to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, while the methodology may similarly apply to classification and anomaly detection based on other resource metrics. We apply image processing and machine learning on the network resource usage to extract and recognize communication patterns. The phenotype method is experimented on four real-world decentralized applications. With proper length of sampled continuous network resource usage, the overall recognition accuracy is about 99%. Additionally, the recognition error is used to detect the anomaly network traffic. We simulate the anomaly network resource usage that equals to 10%, 20% and 30% of the normal network resource usage. The experiment results show the proposed anomaly detection method is efficient in detecting each intensity of anomaly network resource usage.
Training deep learning models on in-home IoT sensory data is commonly used to recognise human activities. Recently, federated learning systems that use edge devices as clients to support local human activity recognition have emerged as a new paradigm
to combine local (individual-level) and global (group-level) models. This approach provides better scalability and generalisability and also offers better privacy compared with the traditional centralised analysis and learning models. The assumption behind federated learning, however, relies on supervised learning on clients. This requires a large volume of labelled data, which is difficult to collect in uncontrolled IoT environments such as remote in-home monitoring. In this paper, we propose an activity recognition system that uses semi-supervised federated learning, wherein clients conduct unsupervised learning on autoencoders with unlabelled local data to learn general representations, and a cloud server conducts supervised learning on an activity classifier with labelled data. Our experimental results show that using a long short-term memory autoencoder and a Softmax classifier, the accuracy of our proposed system is higher than that of both centralised systems and semi-supervised federated learning using data augmentation. The accuracy is also comparable to that of supervised federated learning systems. Meanwhile, we demonstrate that our system can reduce the number of needed labels and the size of local models, and has faster local activity recognition speed than supervised federated learning does.
Federated Semi-Supervised Learning (FedSSL) has gained rising attention from both academic and industrial researchers, due to its unique characteristics of co-training machine learning models with isolated yet unlabeled data. Most existing FedSSL met
hods focus on the classical scenario, i.e, the labeled and unlabeled data are stored at the client side. However, in real world applications, client users may not provide labels without any incentive. Thus, the scenario of labels at the server side is more practical. Since unlabeled data and labeled data are decoupled, most existing FedSSL approaches may fail to deal with such a scenario. To overcome this problem, in this paper, we propose FedCon, which introduces a new learning paradigm, i.e., contractive learning, to FedSSL. Experimental results on three datasets show that FedCon achieves the best performance with the contractive framework compared with state-of-the-art baselines under both IID and Non-IID settings. Besides, ablation studies demonstrate the characteristics of the proposed FedCon framework.
