A Secure Communication Method for Unmanned Undersea Systems Oriented to Federated Learning by Jiajia WU, Ming XU

“…This method reduced the dimensionality of transmission gradients through orthogonal projection and quantization, thereby decreasing communication costs while preserving information integrity. To mitigate information leakage, a privacy-preserving method utilizing a feedback channel was designed, and the normalized acoustic channel transmission matrix and random sequences were employed to generate secret keys, so as to ensure that eavesdroppers cannot decrypt the model parameters. …”
