This research introduces BGA, a neural architecture designed to extract threat signatures from encrypted TLS 1.3 flows by filtering out cryptographic noise using ANOVA and specialized attention mechanisms. By integrating WGAN-GP for data augmentation and BiLSTM units for temporal analysis, the framework achieves over 95% detection accuracy on industrial IoT benchmarks while maintaining ultra-low inference latency suitable for edge deployment. The work represents a significant advancement in applying advanced machine learning techniques to secure high-entropy network environments without relying on decryption keys.
BGA: A noise-immune neural distillation framework for malicious signature extraction in high-entropy encrypted flows
arXiv:2608.14126v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: To mitigate attention dilution in high-entropy TLS 1.3 flows, we propose BGA, a noise-immune neural distillation framework for encrypted threat intelligence.The methodology first employs Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) to decouple high-discriminatory control-plane features - specifically industrial setpoints - from stochastic cryptographic noise. To resolve the extreme class imbalance within a corpus of 86,878 flow records, a Wasserstein GAN with Gradient Penalty (WGAN-GP) module, enforcing the 1-Lipschitz constraint, is integrated to synthesize high-fidelity minority samples, elevating the detection recall of rare Malicious State Command Injections(MSCI) attacks by 43.2%. At its core, the BGA architecture integrates Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) for temporal dependency extraction and an Adaptive Gated Multi-Head Attention mechanism. This gated unit functions as a neural filter to dynamically suppress encryption artifacts while amplifying malicious signatures. Extensive evaluations on CIC-IDS-2018 and Edge-IIoT benchmarks demonstrate a performance ceiling exceeding 95.2% across all key metrics. Furthermore, noise-injection stress tests confirm BGAs superior structural resilience with a 8.57% performance margin over vanilla Transformers, while its ultra-low inference latency of 0.2820 ms (estimated 1.6920 ms via theoretical scaling for ARM) indicates a high potential for real-time feasibility on heterogeneous industrial edge gateways, providing a promising architectural baseline for future hardware implementation.
