The Controller Area Network (CAN) protocol is one of the important communication standards in autonomous vehicles, enabling real-time information sharing across in-vehicle (IV) components to realize smooth coordination and dependability in vital activities. Without encryption and authentication, CAN reveals several vulnerabilities related to message attacks within the IV Network (IVN). Traditional centralized Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) where all the historical data is grouped on one node result in privacy risks and scalability issues, making them unsuitable for real-time intrusion detection. To address these challenges, we propose a Deep Federated Learning (FL) architecture for intrusion detection in IVN. We propose a Bidirectional Long Short Term Memory (BiLSTM) architecture to capture temporal dependencies in the CAN bus and ensure enhanced feature extraction and multi-class classification. By evaluating our framework on three real-world datasets, we show how our proposal outperforms a baseline LSTM model from the state of the art.
