Abstract: The Internet of Vehicles (IoV) is envisioned to improve road safety, reduce traffic congestion, and minimize pollution. However, the connectedness of IoV entities increases the risk of cyber attacks, which can have serious consequences. Traditional intrusion detection systems (IDS) transfer large amounts of raw data to central servers, leading to potential privacy concerns. Also, training IDS on resource-constrained IoV devices generally can result in slower training times and poor service quality. To address these issues, we propose a split learning-based privacy-preserving IDS that deploys IDS on edge devices without sharing sensitive raw data. In addition, we propose a regret minimization-based adaptive offloading technique that reduces the training time on resource-constrained devices. Our approach effectively detects anomalous behavior while preserving data privacy and reducing training time, making it a practical solution for IoV. Experimental results show the effectiveness of our approach and its potential to enhance the security of the IoV network.
