Efficient secure federated learning aggregation framework based on homomorphic encryption by Shengxing YU, Zhong CHEN

“…In order to solve the problems of data security and communication overhead in federated learning, an efficient and secure federated aggregation framework based on homomorphic encryption was proposed.In the process of federated learning, the privacy and security issues of user data need to be solved urgently.However, the computational cost and communication overhead caused by the encryption scheme would affect the training efficiency.Firstly, in the case of protecting data security and ensuring training efficiency, the Top-K gradient selection method was used to screen model gradients, reducing the number of gradients that need to be uploaded.A candidate quantization protocol suitable for multi-edge terminals and a secure candidate index merging algorithm were proposed to further reduce communication overhead and accelerate homomorphic encryption calculations.Secondly, since model parameters of each layer of neural networks had characteristics of the Gaussian distribution, the selected model gradients were clipped and quantized, and the gradient unsigned quantization protocol was adopted to speed up the homomorphic encryption calculation.Finally, the experimental results show that in the federated learning scenario, the proposed framework can protect data privacy, and has high accuracy and efficient performance.…”

Qptimization design of video encoder quantizer for general DSPs by GAN Yong1, SU Shi-mei2, ZHOU Bing2, QIAN De-pei 1

“…A new scheme of quantization which was constructed by an optimal quantization matrix was proposed.It was inefficient for the traditional quantization of MPEG video encoders on the general DSPs.Considering the traits of a DSP,which could realized one-step quantization by substituting shift for division.Meanwhile,this scheme used different quantization strategies according to the differences of the types of video blocks to be coded,and avoids the loss of the quality of images with the unified quantization.Experiments had shown that this scheme could obviously improve the efficiency of quantization,and subjective and objective quality of images coded as well.…”
