A Survey of Differential Privacy Techniques for Federated Learning by Wang Xin, Li Jiaqian, Ding Xueshuang, Zhang Haoji, Sun Lianshan

“…This paper comprehensively expounds the research status of differential privacy techniques based on the federated learning framework, first providing detailed introductions to federated learning and differential privacy technologies, and then summarizing the development status of two types of federated learning differential privacy(DPFL) techniques respectively; for CDPFL, the paper divides the discussion into first proposal of CDP and typical application examples, the impact of Gaussian mechanisms on model accuracy, optimization based on asynchronous differential privacy, and insights from other scholars; for LDPFL, the paper divides the discussion into first proposal of LDP and typical application examples, processing multidimensional data and improving model accuracy, existing methods and optimization for reducing communication costs, balancing privacy protection and data usability, LDPFL based on the Shuffle model, and insights from other scholars; following this, the paper addresses and summarizes the unique challenges introduced by incorporating differential privacy into federated learning and proposes solutions; finally, based on a summary of existing optimization techniques, the paper outlines future directions and specifically discusses three research ideas for enhancing the optimization effects of federated differential privacy: advanced optimization strategies combining Bayesian methods and the Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM), integrating lattice homomorphic encryption techniques from cryptography to achieve more efficient differential privacy protection in federated learning, and exploring the application of zero-knowledge proof techniques in federated learning for privacy protection.…”
