Privacy-preserving federated learning framework with dynamic weight aggregation by Zuobin YING, Yichen FANG, Yiwen ZHANG

“…There are two problems with the privacy-preserving federal learning framework under an unreliable central server.① A fixed weight, typically the size of each participant’s dataset, is used when aggregating distributed learning models on the central server.However, different participants have non-independent and homogeneously distributed data, then setting fixed aggregation weights would prevent the global model from achieving optimal utility.② Existing frameworks are built on the assumption that the central server is honest, and do not consider the problem of data privacy leakage of participants due to the untrustworthiness of the central server.To address the above issues, based on the popular DP-FedAvg algorithm, a privacy-preserving federated learning DP-DFL algorithm for dynamic weight aggregation under a non-trusted central server was proposed which set a dynamic model aggregation weight.The proposed algorithm learned the model aggregation weight in federated learning directly from the data of different participants, and thus it is applicable to non-independent homogeneously distributed data environment.In addition, the privacy of model parameters was protected using noise in the local model privacy protection phase, which satisfied the untrustworthy central server setting and thus reduced the risk of privacy leakage in the upload of model parameters from local participants.Experiments on dataset CIFAR-10 demonstrate that the DP-DFL algorithm not only provides local privacy guarantees, but also achieves higher accuracy rates with an average accuracy improvement of 2.09% compared to the DP-FedAvg algorithm models.…”

Continuous location privacy protection mechanism based on differential privacy by Hongtao LI, Xiaoyu REN, Jie WANG, Jianfeng MA

“…Aiming at the problem of users’ location privacy leakage caused by continuously using LBS, a road privacy level (RPL) algorithm was proposed based on road topological network, which divided the privacy level of the road sections around the sensitive locations.Then, a differential privacy location protection mechanism (DPLPM) was proposed.Privacy budget was allocated for sensitive road sections and Laplace noise was added to realize the privacy protection of location data.The experimental results show that the mechanism has high data availability while protecting the privacy of location information.…”

Preliminary study on the construction of a data privacy protection course based on a teaching-in-practice range by Zhe SUN, Hong NING, Lihua YIN, Binxing FANG

“…Since China’s Data Security Law, Personal Information Protection Law and related laws were formalized, demand for privacy protection technology talents has increased sharply, and data privacy protection courses have been gradually offered in the cyberspace security majors of various universities.Building on longstanding practices in data security research and teaching, the teaching team of “Academician Fang Binxing’s Experimental Class” (referred to as “Fang Class”) at Guangzhou University has proposed a teaching method for data privacy protection based on a teaching-in-practice range.In the selection of teaching course content, the teaching team selected eight typical key privacy protection techniques including anonymity model, differential privacy, searchable encryption, ciphertext computation, adversarial training, multimedia privacy protection, privacy policy conflict resolution, and privacy violation traceability.Besides, the corresponding teaching modules were designed, which were deployed in the teaching practice range for students to learn and train.Three teaching methods were designed, including the knowledge and application oriented teaching method which integrates theory and programming, the engineering practice oriented teaching method based on algorithm extension and adaptation, and the comprehensive practice oriented teaching method for practical application scenarios.Then the closed loop of “learning-doing-using” knowledge learning and application was realized.Through three years of privacy protection teaching practice, the “Fang class” has achieved remarkable results in cultivating students’ knowledge application ability, engineering practice ability and comprehensive innovation ability, which provided useful discussion for the construction of the initial course of data privacy protection.…”
