论文摘要(中文)
论文提出 Sybil-TraceGuard,利用动态时空图神经网络在半监督条件下把不断切换的车辆伪名追溯到攻击者。框架包含流式攻击预筛查、动态图构建、空间图注意力编码,以及多尺度时序审计,并以 Mean-Teacher 方式训练。
Connected and autonomous vehicles (CA Vs) face severe Sybil attacks, where attackers exploit privacy-preserving pseudonym-switching mechanisms to anomaly alternate identities while forging Basic Safety Messages (BSMs). Although existing schemes can flag suspicious behaviors, these temporally fragmented Sybil identities render traditional single-point and sequence-based deep learning methods ineffective. Linking these fragmented identities back to the source attacker is essential for root-cause elimination, particularly under extreme label scarcity. Therefore, the Sybil-TraceGuard is proposed as a dynamic semisupervised spatio-temporal GNN framework for Sybil Guardian, prioritizing “who is responsible” over “whether an attack is happening”. It comprises four tightly coupled modules: Incremental Stream Attack Detection (ISAD) for efficient Sybil attack pre-screening; the Dynamic Topology-aware Constructor (DTC) for constructing spatio-temporal dynamic graphs; the Spatial GAT-Encoder with Multi-head Attention (SGEM) to capture multi-identity logical conflicts in spatial interactions; and the Multi-scale Spatio-Temporal Audit (MSTA) to audit shortterm and long-term temporal inconsistencies. These modules are optimized within a semi-supervised Mean-Teacher framework via feature-edge shuffling perturbations, regularizing the latent feature space using minimal labels. Experiments across four Sybil attack scenarios demonstrate that Sybil-TraceGuard effectively links fragmented pseudonyms to source attackers. It outperforms state-of-the-art baselines across unlabeled ratios of 0.70–0.95, maintaining high stability and sensitivity despite extreme class imbalance and varying hyperparameter settings.
研究动机(中文总结)
车辆为保护隐私会切换伪名,Sybil 攻击者还能伪造基本安全消息;传统检测只判断是否有攻击,难以把被切碎的身份关联回同一攻击源,尤其在标注很少时。

实验结果(中文总结)
摘要称该方法在四种 Sybil 攻击场景、未标注比例 0.70–0.95 下优于对比方法,并在严重类别不平衡和超参数变化时保持稳定;全文提取到的实验依据目前只覆盖硬件配置,具体指标需补读结果表。
