Abstract
Purpose
The goal of this research is to create a framework for financial system fraud detection that is safe and protects privacy while resolving issues with data sharing, legal restrictions, and cybersecurity threats. To facilitate cooperative model training without exchanging private raw data.
Methods
A blockchain-enhanced Federated Learning (FL) method is suggested. The technique divides a centralized dataset among several clients to simulate an FL environment. Local training is done using a TabNet deep learning model, and hyperparameter tweaking is done via Bayesian optimization. Input features are normalized and passed through TabNet's sequential feature transformer and attentive transformer, which generate sparse attention masks to select the most discriminative attributes at each decision step; the aggregated decision representations are then classified using a softmax-based prediction layer. Model updates are transmitted using AES-256 encryption to guarantee data security, and their integrity is confirmed by SHA-256 hashing. Blockchain technology provides transparency and tamper resistance by recording model update hashes via Hyperledger Fabric. The integration of AES-256 encryption, SHA-256 integrity verification, and Hyperledger Fabric blockchain enables secure peer-to-peer model transmission, making the proposed framework well suited for decentralized financial environments.
Results
With an accuracy of 0.9924, precision of 0.9947, recall of 0.9910, and low rates of false positives and false negatives, the findings show excellent performance. Validation accuracy improved consistently across successive federated communication rounds, rising from 0.9887 to 0.9933, confirming stable model convergence, while the framework achieved a ROC-AUC of 0.9980 and PR-AUC of 0.9986. The suggested architecture performs better than conventional models like decision trees and logistic regression.
Conclusion
The framework is appropriate for practical financial applications since it successfully improves fraud detection while guaranteeing Privacy Preservation, security, and openness.
The proposed framework effectively integrates encryption, federated intrusion detection, explainable artificial intelligence, and blockchain security to enhance privacy, transparency, and reliability in IoMT healthcare networks.

Federated learning (FL) enables distributed clients to collaboratively train machine learning models without sharing raw data, making it well-suited for edge computing environments. However, deploying FL at the edge introduces critical challenges, including potential model poisoning by malicious clients or edge servers, increased privacy risks, and communication bottlenecks. To address these issues, we propose a two-layer blockchain-assisted FL framework that ensures privacy, robustness, and efficiency. In our design, each client uploads an encrypted local update to an edge server for privacy-preserving validation, while a lightweight, sparse upload strategy is adopted to reduce communication overhead. We design a two-layer defense strategy that employs the secure cosine similarity technique and a truth discovery algorithm to resist Byzantine attacks from both malicious clients and edge servers, while a consortium blockchain maintained by edge servers guarantees decentralized and tamper-resistant global model updates. Theoretical analysis and extensive experiments under both IID and non-IID data partitions demonstrate that the proposed scheme effectively defends against targeted and untargeted poisoning attacks and preserves the privacy of local model updates. It also substantially reduces communication overhead. These results indicate that our framework provides a practical and scalable solution for privacy-preserving and robust FL in edge environments.

Using federated learning (FL) in health care applications, the teams will be able to collaborate to predict the health of patients without exchanging any personally identifiable information. Regardless of this benefit, FL is still not widely used since it is susceptible to serious privacy and security risks like membership inference and model poisoning attacks. To address these concerns, this paper proposes a blockchain-enhanced FL model that involves safe aggregation and audit-trail immutability to thwart privacy leakage and manipulation of medical data analysis by opponents. Random Forest and LightGBM classifiers are trained on fake healthcare datasets in various scenarios of attack. Some of the security measures that are used to assess the system include attack success rate, cost of communication, differential privacy (DP) epsilon values and blockchain-based tamper detection delay. The proposed approach can achieve measurable privacy leaks reduction and a 40-percent lower success rate in membership inference attacks, as demonstrated in experiments. Also, blockchain audit trails can provide real-time resilience against tampering of data. According to these findings, blockchain-enhanced FL appears to be a promising framework of medical AI systems capable of ensuring the patient data safety and privacy.

Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) systems require dynamical, safe, and competent control to address the dynamic industrial processes. Centralized Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) methods are however vulnerable to privacy, high communication overheads, and model tampering. In order to address these shortcomings, the present paper suggests a Blockchain-Secured Federated Deep Reinforcement Learning (BS-FDRL) system to privacy-guaranteed and resilient IIoT control. The suggested system has distributed edge agents, which locally train DRL models and exchange only encrypted policy updates through federated learning; this guarantees the privacy of data. A smart contract-based blockchain layer allows aggregation and safe validation of model parameters to be tampered with. Also, differential privacy is integrated to safeguard sensitive industrial data in the process of policy exchange. The framework is coded with Python 3.10, DDPG/PPO algorithms with PyTorch, Flower to coordinate federated, and Hyperledger Fabric to integrate with blockchains. Industrial control and anomaly detection experimental analyses show that performance improvements are significant. The increase in the cumulative reward of the proposed model is 18-22% and the convergence rate is about 28 times higher than the baseline approaches. Stability of control is improved to 91.3% and communication overhead is cut down by up to 25%. Moreover, the overall energy consumption is reduced by approximately 65%, which enhances the efficiency of the system. Security analysis indicates a 96% poisoning attack detection and 94% inference attack resistance. The system is robust and only 35% accuracy deteriorates in adverse conditions. The results prove that BS-FDRL offers scalable, secure, and efficient communication-based intelligent control in Industry 4.0 IIoT setups.
