Rec-Def: A Recommendation-based Defence Mechanism for Privacy Preservation in Federated Learning Systems

  • November 19, 2023
  • Comments off

An emergence of attention and regulations on consumer privacy can be observed over the recent years with the ubiquitous availability of IoT systems handling personal data. Federated Learning (FL) arises as a privacy-preserved Machine Learning (ML) technique where data can be kept private within these devices without transmitting to third parties. Yet, many privacy attacks […]

FL-TIA: Novel Time Inference Attacks on Federated Learning

  • November 19, 2023
  • Comments off

Federated Learning (FL) is an emerging privacy-preserved distributed Machine Learning (ML) technique where multiple clients can contribute to training an ML model without sharing private data. Even though FL offers a certain level of privacy by design, recent works show that FL is vulnerable to numerous privacy attacks. One of the key features of FL […]
