• Abstract summary: Federated Learning (FL) is a distributed machine learning paradigm designed for privacy-sensitive applications that run on resource-constrained devices with non-Identically and Independently Distributed (IID) data. Traditional FL frameworks adopt the client-server model with a single-level aggregation process, where the server builds the global model by aggregating all trained local models received from client devices.

• Abstract: Federated Learning (FL) is a distributed machine learning paradigm designed for privacy-sensitive applications that run on resource-constrained devices with non-Identically and Independently Distributed (IID) data. Traditional FL frameworks adopt the client-server model with a single-level aggregation (AGR) process, where the server builds the global model by aggregating all trained local models received from client devices. However, this conventional approach encounters challenges, including susceptibility to model/data poisoning attacks. In recent years, advancements in the Internet of Things (IoT) and edge computing have enabled the development of hierarchical FL systems with a two-level AGR process running at edge and cloud servers. In this paper, we propose a Secure Hierarchical FL (SHFL) framework to address poisoning attacks in hierarchical edge networks. By aggregating trained models at the edge, SHFL employs two novel methods to address model/data poisoning attacks in the presence of client adversaries: 1) a client selection algorithm running at the edge for choosing IoT devices to participate in training, and 2) a model AGR method designed based on convex optimization theory to reduce the impact of edge models from networks with adversaries in the process of computing the global model (at the cloud level). The evaluation results reveal that compared to state-of-the-art methods, SHFL significantly increases the maximum accuracy achieved by the global model in the presence of client adversaries applying model/data poisoning attacks.

  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 a promising technology that enables multiple actors to build a joint model without sharing their raw data. The distributed nature makes FL vulnerable to various poisoning attacks, including model poisoning attacks and data poisoning attacks. In this paper, we focus on the most representative data poisoning attack - "label flipping attack" and monitor its effectiveness when attacking the existing FL methods.
