Abstract
Financial fraud detection while operating in a federated context faces three principal challenges: The extreme imbalance of class distribution, The threat of adversarial evasion, Regulatory requirements about the privacy of data, including prohibitions against sharing of raw data. In providing a solution to these obstacles, the Hybrid Explainable Behavioural-Aware Privacy Preserving Fraud Detection System (HEBAP-FDS) identifies one significant weakness with conventional anomaly detection federations known as the “Robustness Paradox”, and empirically demonstrates that utilizing standard Byzantine Robust Aggregate functions (e.g. Trimmed Mean, FedProx) to determine federated weights is detrimental to detection of financial fraud as they discard valuable minority class gradients and categorize those values as anomalies. Consequently, the overall F1-score decreases to 1.7%. The HEBAP-FDS does not require the use of conventional (generic) forms of robustness or synthetic methods of oversampling to mitigate this issue rather, it utilizes a native focal loss function, as well as a per-user analysis and derivation of a composite user fraud detection score.The use of behavioural Mahalanobis distance drift layer and personalised federated learning with a decoupled classifier is an alternative to overcome this significant decline of the F1-score. The ULB Credit Card Fraud benchmark has a very low percentage of cards used for fraudulent activity, only 0.172%. By analysing the performance of the HEBAP-FDS method using 10 separate sets of random seed trials, the HEBAP-FDS method achieves the best performance in federated learning (FL) with an F1 score of 54.3% and 66.0% with HEBAP-FDS method, while obtaining only 1.7% and 22.4% with the FedAvg method, respectively, on the Independent Test Sets of the Extreme and IEEE-CIS datasets, respectively. In addition, the operation of the HEBAP-FDS method enables the preservation of the rigidity of localised data privacy for individual users, and provides a secure defence against adversarial attacks through the use of FGSM and also provides regulatory compliant explainability through the use of the SHAP write-up method.
