1. A method, comprising:
receiving a heartbeat message by an intrusion detection system (IDS) in a time sensitive network (TSN), the heartbeat message to comprise a heartbeat vector and a message authentication code (MAC), the heartbeat vector to comprise a set of immutable values, where each immutable value represents a timestamp associated with a network node in the TSN;
authenticating the heartbeat vector based on the message authentication code;
retrieving a pair of timestamps from the heartbeat vector;
determining an actual time difference based on the pair of timestamps;
retrieving an expected time difference associated with the pair of timestamps; and
detecting a desynchronization event for the TSN based on the actual time difference and the expected time difference using a machine learning model.
