Reliable Federated TinyML Deployment for IoT Security

The paper explores how to combine Federated Learning with TinyML model compression techniques—such as knowledge distillation, structured pruning, and quantization—to create lightweight, privacy‑preserving intrusion detection systems for IoT devices. It evaluates these strategies within a federated training pipeline and finds that training stability is crucial; a server‑coordinated cosine learning‑rate schedule boosts Attack Recall from 46.7% to 93.85% while still allowing significant model compression and efficient edge deployment.

Quantization in Federated Learning: Methods, Challenges and Future Directions

arXiv:2606. 26822v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Federated Learning (FL) has become a foundational paradigm for privacy-preserving distributed intelligence, yet its scalability remains fundamentally constrained by communication bottlenecks, device heterogeneity, and the challenges of training under statistically non-IID data.

A Non-Invasive Cloud-Based Migration Strategy for Post-Quantum Cybersecurity in Smart HVAC Systems: Architecture, Implementation, and Empirical Evaluation

The paper presents a non‑invasive, cloud‑based migration strategy that protects legacy smart HVAC controllers from quantum attacks without modifying the devices or vendor cloud. It introduces a Raspberry Pi 4B gateway that performs post‑quantum key encapsulation (ML‑KEM‑768) and authentication (ML‑DSA‑65) using AES‑256‑GCM, completing handshakes in 2.48 ms and sustaining 443 sessions per second. Extensive side‑channel testing shows no timing leakage or man‑in‑the‑middle vulnerabilities, and the architecture is vendor‑agnostic, becoming redundant once native PQC support is adopted.
