GDGU: A Gradient Difference-based Graph Unlearning Method for Cyberattack Localization in Electric Vehicle Charging Networks

arXiv:2606.19566v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Electric vehicle charging stations (EVCSs) can expose distribution feeders to cyberattacks. While machine learning methods, including graph neural networks, can localize which bus is compromised, significant challenges remain in data sharing and model training. For example, privacy regulations grant EVCS owners the right to delete their training data from a deployed model, yet retraining from scratch on every request is computationally prohibitive. To address this, we study graph unlearning (GU) for EVCS cyberattack localization, formulated as
The increasing integration of machine learning into critical infrastructure, coupled with growing privacy regulations like GDPR, is creating an urgent need for efficient data unlearning methods.
This research addresses a critical friction point between the deployment of AI in sensitive applications and the imperative of data privacy and computational efficiency, potentially enabling wider AI adoption in regulated sectors.
The development of efficient graph unlearning methods specific to cyberattack localization in EV charging networks demonstrates a path towards privacy-preserving and adaptable AI systems in critical infrastructure.
