Due to the rising use of the Internet of Things (IoT), the connectivity of networks increases the risk of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. Decentralized systems commonly used in centralized security systems fail to adequately prevent potential cyber threats in IoT because of the issues of privacy and scaling. The method proposed in this study seeks to remedy these facts by employing Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) together with Federated Deep Neural Networks (FDNNs) to detect and prevent DDoS attacks.
