NOS-Gate: Queue-Aware Streaming IDS for Consumer Gateways under Timing-Controlled Evasion

arXiv CS.LG

ArXi:2601.00389v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Timing and burst patterns can leak through encryption, and an adaptive adversary can exploit them. This undermines metadata-only detection in a stand-alone consumer gateway. Therefore, consumer gateways need streaming intrusion detection on encrypted traffic using metadata only, under tight CPU and latency budgets. We present a streaming IDS for stand-alone gateways that instantiates a lightweight two-state unit derived from Network-Optimised Spiking (NOS) dynamics per flow, named \emph{NOS-Gate.
