• Abstract summary: We propose a privacy-preserving uplink over-the-air computation (AirComp) method, termed FLORAS. We prove that FLORAS offers both item-level and client-level differential privacy guarantees. A new FL convergence bound is derived which, combined with the privacy guarantees, allows for a smooth tradeoff between the achieved convergence rate and differential privacy levels.

• Abstract: We propose a privacy-preserving uplink over-the-air computation (AirComp) method, termed FLORAS, for single-input single-output (SISO) wireless federated learning (FL) systems. From the perspective of communication designs, FLORAS eliminates the requirement of channel state information at the transmitters (CSIT) by leveraging the properties of orthogonal sequences. From the privacy perspective, we prove that FLORAS offers both item-level and client-level differential privacy (DP) guarantees. Moreover, by properly adjusting the system parameters, FLORAS can flexibly achieve different DP levels at no additional cost. A new FL convergence bound is derived which, combined with the privacy guarantees, allows for a smooth tradeoff between the achieved convergence rate and differential privacy levels. Experimental results demonstrate the advantages of FLORAS compared with the baseline AirComp method, and validate that the analytical results can guide the design of privacy-preserving FL with different tradeoff requirements on the model convergence and privacy levels.

  Federated learning (FL) allows to train a massive amount of data privately due to its decentralized structure.

  Federated learning aims to protect data privacy by collaboratively learning a model without sharing private data among users. An adversary may still be able to infer the private training data by attacking the released model. Differential privacy provides a statistical protection against such attacks at the price of significantly degrading the accuracy or utility of the trained models.
