• Abstract: Federated learning (FL) enables participants to store data locally while collaborating in training, yet it remains vulnerable to privacy attacks, such as data reconstruction. Existing differential privacy (DP) technologies inject noise dynamically into the training process to mitigate the impact of excessive noise. However, this dynamic scheduling is often grounded in factors indirectly related to privacy, making it difficult to clearly explain the intricate relationship between dynamic noise adjustments and privacy requirements. To address this issue, we propose FedSDP, a novel and explainable DP-based privacy protection mechanism that guides noise injection based on privacy contribution. Specifically, FedSDP leverages Shapley values to assess the contribution of private attributes to local model training and dynamically adjusts the amount of noise injected accordingly. By providing theoretical insights into the injection of varying scales of noise into local training, FedSDP enhances interpretability. Extensive experiments demonstrate that FedSDP can achieve a superior balance between privacy preservation and model performance, surpassing state-of-the-art (SOTA) solutions.

  ldp deployments are vulnerable to inference attacks as an adversary can link the noisy responses to their identity. An alternative model, shuffle DP, prevents this by shuffling the noisy responses uniformly at random. We show that systematic shuffling of the noisy responses can thwart specific inference attacks while retaining some meaningful data learnability.

  Generative adversarial network (GAN) has attracted increasing attention recently owing to its impressive ability to generate realistic samples with high privacy protection. However, when GANs are applied on sensitive or private training examples, such as medical or financial records, it is still probable to divulge individuals' sensitive and private information. We propose a R'enyi-differentially private-GAN (RDP-GAN), which achieves differential privacy (DP) in a GAN by carefully adding random noises on the value of the loss function during training.
