Higher privacy levels may reduce accuracy (trade-off)79,97

Adversarial defenses

Advanced defenses via GANs, CNNs, adversarial learning85,86,116

High computational overhead and energy consumption68,85,115

FL

Decentralized and privacy-preserving87,98,112

Challenges in handling non-IID data, higher convergence time98,112

Real-world feasibility

Tested in real-world (IoT, GNSS-denied, large-scale systems)88,89,93

Some solutions remain simulation-based, scalability concerns82,104,113
