• Abstract: This paper presents LDP-Fed, a novel federated learning system with a formal privacy guarantee using local differential privacy (LDP). Existing LDP protocols are developed primarily to ensure data privacy in the collection of single numerical or categorical values, such as click count in Web access logs. However, in federated learning model parameter updates are collected iteratively from each participant and consist of high dimensional, continuous values with high precision (10s of digits after the decimal point), making existing LDP protocols inapplicable. To address this challenge in LDP-Fed, we design and develop two novel approaches. First, LDP-Fed's LDP Module provides a formal differential privacy guarantee for the repeated collection of model training parameters in the federated training of large-scale neural networks over multiple individual participants' private datasets. Second, LDP-Fed implements a suite of selection and filtering techniques for perturbing and sharing select parameter updates with the parameter server. We validate our system deployed with a condensed LDP protocol in training deep neural networks on public data. We compare this version of LDP-Fed, coined CLDP-Fed, with other state-of-the-art approaches with respect to model accuracy, privacy preservation, and system capabilities.

  Federated Learning (FL) has gained lots of traction recently, both in industry and academia. In FL, a machine learning model is trained using data from various end-users arranged in committees across several rounds. Since such data can often be sensitive, a primary challenge in FL is providing privacy while still retaining utility of the model.

  This work is inspired by knowledge transfer non-federated privacy learning from Papernot et al. We design two new DPFL schemes, by voting among the data labels returned from each local model, instead of averaging the gradients. Our approaches significantly improve the privacy-utility trade-off over the state-of-the-arts in DPFL.

Analysis and experiments show that our framework delivers comparable or even better performance than the non-private framework and existing LDP protocols.

  Federated learning (FL) is capable of preserving private data from mobile terminals (MTs) while training the data into useful models. From a viewpoint of information theory, it is still possible for a curious server to infer private information from the shared models uploaded by MTs. We propose a user-level differential privacy (UDP) algorithm by adding artificial noise to the shared models before uploading them to servers.
