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.…”

Large-scale S-box design and analysis of SPS structure by Lan ZHANG, Liangsheng HE, Bin YU

“…A class of optimal linear transformation P over a finite field<inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mrow> <msup> <mrow> <mrow><mo>(</mo> <mrow> <msubsup> <mi>F</mi> <mn>2</mn> <mi>m</mi> </msubsup> </mrow> <mo>)</mo></mrow></mrow> <mn>4</mn> </msup> </mrow></math></inline-formula> was constructed based on cyclic shift and XOR operation.Using the idea of inverse proof of input-output relation of linear transformation for reference, a proof method was put forward that transformed the objective problem of optimal linear transformation into several theorems of progressive relation, which not only solved the proof of that kind of optimal linear transformation, but also was suitable for the proof of any linear transformation.By means of small-scale S-box and optimal cyclic shift-XOR linear transformation P, a large-scale S-box model with 2-round SPS structure was established, and a series of lightweight large-scale S-boxes with good cryptographic properties were designed.Only three kind of basic operations such as look-up table, cyclic shift and XOR were used in the proposed design scheme, which improved the linearity and difference uniformity of large-scale S-boxes.Theoretical proof and case analysis show that, compared with the existing large-scale S-box construction methods, the proposed large-scale S-box design scheme has lower computational cost and better cryptographic properties such as difference and linearity, which is suitable for the design of nonlinear permutation coding of lightweight cryptographic algorithms.…”

TDMA-based user scheduling policies for federated learning by Meixia TAO, Dong WANG, Rui SUN, Naifu ZHANG

“…To improve the communication efficiency in FL (federated learning), for the scenario with heterogeneous edge user's computing capacity and channel state, a class of time division multiple access (TDMA) based user scheduling policies were proposed for FL.The proposed policies aim to minimize the system delay in each round of model training subject to a given sample size constraint required for computing in each round.In addition, the convergence rate of the proposed scheduling algorithms was analyzed from a theoretical perspective to study the tradeoff between the convergence performance and the total system delay.The selection of the optimal batch size was further analyzed.Simulation results show that the convergence rate of the proposed algorithm is at least 30% higher than all the considered benchmarks.…”
