This paper investigates the application of Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) for malware detection, leveraging its ability to learn complex patterns and behaviours from raw data. The study employs a DRL framework to train an agent to identify malicious software based on dynamic features extracted from executable files. A comprehensive evaluation is conducted using a diverse dataset, encompassing various types of malware samples. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed DRL based approach in accurately detecting malware, achieving competitive performance compared to traditional methods and state-of-the-art techniques. Additionally, the paper discusses the interpretability and scalability of the model, along with potential challenges and future research directions in applying DRL to cybersecurity.</p> Mangadevi Atti Manas Kumar Yogi Copyright (c) 2024 Authors https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 2024-04-02 2024-04-02 4 03 23 35 10.55529/ijitc.43.23.35 Application of Federated Learning for Smart Agriculture System https://journal.hmjournals.com/index.php/IJITC/article/view/4043 <p>Federated Learning (FL) presents a ground breaking approach to addressing data privacy concerns while harnessing the power of machine learning in the agricultural sector. This paper explores the application of FL for smart agriculture, examining its potential benefits and implications. FL enables collaborative model training across decentralized data sources, allowing farmers to contribute their data without compromising privacy. In smart agriculture, FL facilitates the development of customized machine learning models for tasks such as crop yield prediction, disease detection, resource optimization, and livestock management. By leveraging data from diverse geographical regions, FL models can provide localized recommendations tailored to specific farming conditions. This paper discusses the significance of FL in enabling data-driven decision-making, promoting sustainable agricultural practices, and fostering collaboration among stakeholders. Furthermore, it explores the challenges and considerations associated with implementing FL in the agricultural sector, including data heterogeneity, communication constraints, and model aggregation. Despite these challenges, FL offers immense potential for revolutionizing agriculture by empowering farmers with actionable insights while safeguarding their data privacy.</p> Aiswarya Dwarampudi Manas Kumar Yogi Copyright (c) 2024 Authors https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 2024-04-12 2024-04-12 4 03 36 48 10.55529/ijitc.43.36.48
