Generative AI and Federated Learning for Intrusion Detection Systems: A Survey
Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs) are essential for monitoring network traffic and identifying malicious activities in modern cyber-physical, Internet of Things (IoT), enterprise, and distributed network environments. However, developing reliable IDS models remains challenging because attack behaviors evolve over time, realistic datasets are difficult to obtain, traffic records may be incomplete, attack classes are…

Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs) are essential for monitoring network traffic and identifying malicious activities in modern cyber-physical, Internet of Things (IoT), enterprise, and distributed network environments. However, developing reliable IDS models remains challenging because attack behaviors evolve over time, realistic datasets are difficult to obtain, traffic records may be incomplete, attack classes are often imbalanced, and privacy constraints limit centralized data collection. Recent advances in generative artificial intelligence (AI) and Federated Learning (FL) provide new opportunities to address these limitations. Generative models can support anomaly detection, synthetic traffic generation, data augmentation, data imputation, adversarial traffic generation, and IDS alert explanation. FL enables distributed IDS training without directly sharing local network traffic, making it suitable for privacy-sensitive and geographically distributed environments. This survey provides a structured review of generative AI and FL techniques for IDS. We first summarize representative IDS research directions, including adversarial machine learning, anomaly-based detection, IoT-oriented IDS, explainable IDS, and benchmark datasets. We then categorize generative AI applications in IDS according to model families and task objectives, covering autoencoder-based models, Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), diffusion models, and Large Language Models (LLMs). Finally, we review emerging studies that integrate generative AI with FL-based IDS and discuss open challenges, including synthetic data quality, realistic traffic generation, dual-use adversarial risks, non-IID client distributions, communication-efficient model sharing, federated IDS benchmarking, and domain-specific LLMs for network security.

Requirement4.4
not collected — this library does not fill it
Software or hardware needed to use it. No source declares it.

No source declares it.
Other platform requirements4.6
not collected — this library does not fill it
No source declares it.
Duration4.7
not collected — this library does not fill it
Playing time, for audio and video. The corpus holds neither.

Interactivity type5.1
not collected — this library does not fill it
Active, expositive or mixed. A judgement about how the resource is used; no source declares it.
Yes unless the licence reserves nothing — attribution is a restriction. The conditions after the dash are the licence gate's reading; the export carries LOM's bare term.
The SPDX id, the licence URI and the conditions. LOM has no element for any of the three, so this is where they survive.

The container a file was found inside, and the Markdown extracted from the original. What a lab requires, and the lab a component belongs to, are inferred and stand apart.
8 Annotation
0/3
Entity8.1
not collected — this library does not fill it
Comments on the resource's educational use, by whoever made them. The platform's review grades competencies, which are classification (9), and writes no comment here.

Description8.3

9 Classification
0/4
Purpose9.1
not collected — this library does not fill it
Empty in the record: no source declares a competency. The alignment reads the resource for them and stands beside the record, never in it, and a taxon path derived from the search string that found it would be a claim about the query.
Taxon path9.2
not collected — this library does not fill it
Where the competency framework goes. Empty in the record for the reason above.
Description9.3
not collected — this library does not fill it
Keyword9.4
not collected — this library does not fill it
What could not be established3
Where the source's metadata could not be carried
over as it was — missing, contradictory, with no matching term in the
standard, restructured, or taken from the repository — and what was done
instead. Without these notes, an empty element would look like something
the harvester missed.
Status
Field
Why
Not available
rights_holder
no rights holder is named at source; the licence is recorded without one rather than attributed to the platform that served it
Not available
publisher
the source named no publisher of the work; where it was collected from is recorded as collection provenance instead, which is a different claim
Not available
educational
the source declared no educational metadata — no resource type, audience, context, difficulty or learning time. Nothing here estimates them
