• Abstract: Federated unlearning is a promising paradigm for protecting the data ownership of distributed clients. It allows central servers to remove historical data effects within the machine learning model as well as address the "right to be forgotten" issue in federated learning. However, existing works require central servers to retain the historical model parameters from distributed clients, such that allows the central server to utilize these parameters for further training even, after the clients exit the training process. To address this issue, this paper proposes a new blockchain-enabled trustworthy federated unlearning framework. We first design a proof of federated unlearning protocol, which utilizes the Chameleon hash function to verify data removal and eliminate the data contributions stored in other clients' models. Then, an adaptive contribution-based retraining mechanism is developed to reduce the computational overhead and significantly improve the training efficiency. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed framework can achieve a better data removal effect than the state-of-the-art frameworks, marking a significant stride towards trustworthy federated unlearning.

  Federated learning (FL) and Split Learning (SL) are two frameworks that enable collaborative learning while keeping the data private (on device) In FL, each data holder trains a model locally and releases it to a central server for aggregation. In SL, the clients must release individual cut-layer activations (smashed data) to the server and wait for its response (during both inference and back propagation). In this work, we present a novel approach for privacy-preserving machine learning, where the clients collaborate via online knowledge distillation using a contrastive loss.

  We propose a method to erase a client by removing the influence of their entire local data from the trained global model. Our unlearning method achieves comparable performance as the gold standard unlearning method of federated retraining from scratch. Unlike prior works, our unlearning method neither requires global access to the data used for training nor the history of the parameter updates to be stored by the server or any of the clients.

  We propose a decentralized FL framework by integrating blockchain into FL, namely, blockchain assisted decentralized federated learning (BLADE-FL) In a round of the proposed BLADE-FL, each client broadcasts its trained model to other clients, competes to generate a block based on the received models, and then aggregates the models from the generated block before its local training of the next round. We explore the impact of lazy clients on the learning performance of BLADE-FL, and characterize the relationship among the optimal K, the learning parameters, and the proportion of lazy clients.
