• Abstract summary: Federated learning (FL) provides an emerging approach for collaboratively training semantic encoder/decoder models of semantic communication systems. Most existing studies on trustworthy FL aim to eliminate data poisoning threats that are produced by malicious clients. A certificateless authentication-based trustworthy federated learning framework is proposed, which mutually authenticates the identity of clients and server.

• Abstract: Federated learning (FL) provides an emerging approach for collaboratively training semantic encoder/decoder models of semantic communication systems, without private user data leaving the devices. Most existing studies on trustworthy FL aim to eliminate data poisoning threats that are produced by malicious clients, but in many cases, eliminating model poisoning attacks brought by fake servers is also an important objective. In this paper, a certificateless authentication-based trustworthy federated learning (CATFL) framework is proposed, which mutually authenticates the identity of clients and server. In CATFL, each client verifies the server's signature information before accepting the delivered global model to ensure that the global model is not delivered by false servers. On the contrary, the server also verifies the server's signature information before accepting the delivered model updates to ensure that they are submitted by authorized clients. Compared to PKI-based methods, the CATFL can avoid too high certificate management overheads. Meanwhile, the anonymity of clients shields data poisoning attacks, while real-name registration may suffer from user-specific privacy leakage risks. Therefore, a pseudonym generation strategy is also presented in CATFL to achieve a trade-off between identity traceability and user anonymity, which is essential to conditionally prevent from user-specific privacy leakage. Theoretical security analysis and evaluation results validate the superiority of CATFL.

  Federated Learning (FL) is a distributed learning framework designed for privacy-aware applications. Traditional FL approaches risk exposing sensitive client data when plain model updates are transmitted to the server. Google's Secure Aggregation (SecAgg) protocol addresses this threat by employing a double-masking technique. We propose ACCESS-FL, a communication-and-computation-efficient secure aggregation method.

  Federated learning (FL) is an effective collaborative learning framework to coordinate data and computation resources from massive and distributed clients in training. Such collaboration results in non-trivial intellectual property (IP) represented by the model parameters that should be protected and shared by the whole party rather than an individual user. To block such IP leakage, it is essential to make the IP identifiable in the shared model and locate the anonymous infringer who first leaks it. We propose Decodable Unique Watermarking (DUW) for complying with the requirements of accountable FL.
