Federated Graph Neural Network–Deep Reinforcement Learning for Resilient and Trust-Aware Resource Allocation in Zero Trust SDN Networks
Khulekani Wiseman Sibiya, Bakhe Nleya
Existing solutions for resource allocation in Zero Trust (ZT) SDN networks treat security, resilience, and efficiency separately; centralised approaches violate data privacy; deep reinforcement learning (DRL) lacks trust dynamics; and federated learning (FL) has not incorporated…
