Progressive-Resolution Secure Aggregation for Federated Learning

The paper introduces Progressive-Resolution Secure Aggregation (PSA) for federated learning, enabling clients to upload updates once while allowing progressively finer aggregate resolutions to be authorized later without further client participation. PSA represents each clipped, dithered update using nested-lattice digits, with each layer protected by secure aggregation and an additional aggregate pad that is released only upon authorization by a non‑colluding release controller.

Communication-Efficient Secure Aggregation in Decentralized Learning

arXiv:2405. 07708v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Decentralized learning (DL) enables participants to collaboratively train models without a central server, yet it faces significant scalability challenges that demand sparsification to reduce the prohibitive communication costs of peer-to-peer exchange.

PRoVeFL: Private Robust and Verifiable Aggregation in Federated Learning

Federated Learning (FL) enables multiple clients to collaboratively train machine learning models while retaining data locality, thereby enhancing user privacy. However, traditional FL frameworks rely on a centralized aggregation server and assume honest-but-curious clients, making them susceptible to both server-side inference and client-side poisoning attacks.

When Topology Betrays Privacy: Lattice-Based Reconstruction Attacks on Secure Aggregation in Decentralized Federated Learning

The paper demonstrates that in decentralized federated learning, secure aggregation implemented through local neighborhood aggregation can leak private model updates. By exploiting the asymmetric aggregate views available to colluding semi‑honest nodes, the authors formulate the problem as a Hidden Subset Sum Problem and develop a lattice‑based reconstruction attack. Experiments on image, tabular, and text datasets show that attackers can recover honest participants’ updates and reconstruct private training data.
