Federated Transfer Learning for Authentication and Privacy Preservation Using Novel Supportive Twin Delayed DDPG (S-TD3) Algorithm for IIoT

Abstract

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has led to the growth and expansion of various new opportunities in the new Industrial Transformation. There have been notable challenges regarding the security of data and challenges related to privacy when collecting real-time and automatic data while observing applications in the industry. This paper proposes an Federated Transfer Learning for Authentication and Privacy Preservation Using Novel Supportive Twin Delayed DDPG (S-TD3) Algorithm for IIoT. In FT-Block (Federated transfer learning blockchain), several blockchains are applied to preserve privacy and security for all types of industrial applications. Additionally, by introducing the authentication mechanism based on transfer learning, blockchains can enhance the preservation and security standards for industrial applications. Specifically, Novel Supportive Twin Delayed DDPG trains the user model to authenticate specific regions. As it is considered one of the most open and scalable interacting platforms of information, it successfully helps in the positive transfer of different kinds of data between devices in more significant and local operations of the industry. It is mainly due to a single authentication factor, and the poor adaptation to regular increases in the number of users and different requirements that make the current authentication mechanism suffer a lot in IIoT. As a result, it has been very clearly observed that the given solutions are very useful.

Video surveillance using deep transfer learning and deep domain adaptation: Towards better generalization

“…Accordingly, the knowledge transfer from the SD to the TD that can preserve users' privacy is a primary issue. Future research efforts must be considered by suggesting to integrate effective security and privacy protection strategies, e.g., decentralized DTL using blockchain [187,188] and federated DTL [189,190].…”

Proposal for an IIoT Device Solution According to Industry 4.0 Concept

“…IoT security and data quality are also important [ 10 ]. Solutions include blockchain technology for recording the attribute, avoiding data tampering, and eliminating a single point of failure at edge computing devices [ 11 ].…”
