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.

arXiv:2610. 35833v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In federated learning (FL), secure aggregation enables a server to compute the sum of local model updates of $N$ clients, without revealing any information on the individual model updates to the server, beyond their sum.

Pacifo is a framework that adapts fine‑tuning strategies to efficiently run the ResNet20 model using Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE). It introduces a public‑private layer partitioning scheme and an efficient ReLU approximation, reducing private layers and costly FHE operations during inference. Compared to state‑of‑the‑art FHE implementations, Pacifo achieves a 3.7–21.7× speedup while preserving 95–99 % of the original plaintext model accuracy.
