Large Language Models (LLMs) have revolutionized natural language processing, but deploying them in resource-constrained environments and privacy-sensitive domains remains challenging. This paper introduces the Distributed Large Language Model (DisLLM), a novel distributed learning framework that addresses privacy preservation and computational efficiency issues in LLM fine-tuning and inference. DisLLM leverages the Splitfed Learning (SFL) approach, combining […]

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 […]

Federated learning (FL) is an intriguing approach to privacy-preserving collaborative learning. Decentralised FL is achieving increased favour for investigation due to the mitigation of vulnerability for a single point of failure and more controllability for end users over their models. However, many existing decentralised FL systems face limitations, such as privacy concerns, latency in aggregation, […]

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 […]

Network Slicing (NS) is a predominant technology in future telecommunication networks, including Fifth Generation (5G), which supports the realization of heterogeneous applications and services. It allows the allocation of a dedicated logical network slice of the physical network to each application. Security is one of the paramount challenges in an NS ecosystem. Several technologies, including […]
