What is Collaborative Domain Blocking: Using federated NLP To Detect Malicious Domains about?

Current content filtering and blocking methods are susceptible to various circumvention techniques and are relatively slow in dealing with new threats. This is due to these methods using shallow pattern recognition that is based on regular expression rules found in crowdsourced block lists. We propose a novel system that aims to remedy the aforementioned issues by examining deep textual patterns of network-oriented content relating to the domain being interacted with. Moreover, we propose to use federated learning that allows users to take advantage of each other's localized knowledge/experience regarding what should or should not be blocked on a network without compromising privacy. Our experiments show the promise of our proposed approach in real world settings. We also provide data-driven recommendations on how to best implement the proposed system.
