Privacy-preserving federated learning framework with irregular-majority users by Qianxin CHEN, Renwan BI, Jie LIN, Biao JIN, Jinbo XIONG

“…In response to the existing problems that the federated learning might lead to the reduction of aggregation efficiency by handing the majority of irregular users and the leak of parameter privacy by adopting plaintext communication, a framework of privacy-preserving robust federated learning was proposed for ensuring the robustness of the irregular user based on the designed security division protocol.PPRFL could enable the model and its related information to aggregate in ciphertext on the edge server facilitate users to calculate the model reliability locally for reducing the additional communication overhead caused by the adoption of the security multiplication protocol in conventional methods, apart from lowering the high computational overhead resulted from homomorphic encryption with outsourcing computing to two edge servers.Based on this, user could calculate the loss value of the model through jointly using the verification sets issued by the edge server and that held locally after parameter updating of the local model.Then the model reliability could be dynamically updated as the model weight together with the historic information of the loss value.Further, the model weight was scaled under the guidance of prior knowledge, and the ciphertext model and ciphertext weight information are sent to the edge server to aggregate and update the global model parameters, ensuring that global model changes are contributed by high-quality data users, and improving the convergence speed.Through the security analysis of the Hybrid Argument model, the demonstration shows that PPRFL can effectively protect the privacy of model parameters and intermediate interaction parameters including user reliability.The experimental results show that the PPRFL scheme could still achieve the accuracy of 92% when all the participants in the federated aggregation task are irregular users, with the convergence efficiency 1.4 times higher than that of the PPFDL.Besides, the PPRFL scheme could still reach the accuracy of 89% when training data possessed by 80% of the users in the federated aggregation task were noise data, with the convergence efficiency 2.3 times higher than that of the PPFDL.…”

Multi-authority based CP-ABE proxy re-encryption scheme for cloud computing by Shang LIU, Yinzhang GUO

“…Proxy re-encryption allows a proxy to convert a ciphertext related to a certain access policy into another one with a different access policy without uncovering the underlying plaintext, which makes the proxy re-encryption technology to be an important technology for data sharing between users.However, the proxy re-encryption schemes are mostly based on single authority, which have some problems such as single power and performance bottleneck of the authority organization and high computing burden on user’s client.At the same time, most schemes do not have the five basic characteristics of proxy re-encryption: one-way encryption, non-interaction, repeatability, controllability and verifiability.In order to solve these problems, a CP-ABE proxy re-encryption scheme for cloud computing based on multi-authority with repeatability and controllability was proposed.Based on the ciphertext policy attribute encryption scheme, proxy servers of encryption and decryption were introduced to reduce the computing burden on the user’s client, and multi-attribute authorization were set to disperse the authority of the central authority.The proxy re-encryption was improved from multiple aspects.Random factors and ciphertext sub-item set in the re-encryption key can realize one-way encryption and controllability.The re-encryption key was independently generated by the client without the participation of servers, which can support users to share data when the data owner is not online.Encrypting the ciphertext sub-item set in the initial ciphertext many times can achieve repeatability.The verification sub-item set in the initial ciphertext allowed the user to verify whether the outsourcing and re-encryption results were correct.Compared with other schemes, the user’s client computing overhead of the proposed scheme was small, and the user can decrypt the original ciphertext only by performing constant times of exponential operation.Based on q-parallel BDHE assumption, the security analysis showed that the proposed scheme is secure against chosen-ciphertext attack (CCA) under the standard model.…”
