Edge computing privacy protection method based on blockchain and federated learning by Chen FANG, Yuanbo GUO, Yifeng WANG, Yongjin HU, Jiali MA, Han ZHANG, Yangyang HU

“…Aiming at the needs of edge computing for data privacy, the correctness of calculation results and the auditability of data processing, a privacy protection method for edge computing based on blockchain and federated learning was proposed, which can realize collaborative training with multiple devices at the edge of the network without a trusted environment and special hardware facilities.The blockchain was used to endow the edge computing with features such as tamper-proof and resistance to single-point-of-failure attacks, and the gradient verification and incentive mechanism were incorporated into the consensus protocol to encourage more local devices to honestly contribute computing power and data to the federated learning.For the potential privacy leakage problems caused by sharing model parameters, an adaptive differential privacy mechanism was designed to protect parameter privacy while reducing the impact of noise on the model accuracy, and moments accountant was used to accurately track the privacy loss during the training process.Experimental results show that the proposed method can resist 30% of poisoning attacks, and can achieve privacy protection with high model accuracy, and is suitable for edge computing scenarios that require high level of security and accuracy.…”
