Secure Distributed Learning for CAVs: Defending against Gradient Leakage with Leveled Homomorphic Encryption

Federated Learning FL enables collaborative model training across distributed clients without sharing raw data, making it a promising approach for privacy-preserving machine learning in domains like Connected and Autonomous Vehicles CAVs. However, recent studies have shown that exchanged model...

Securing Unbounded Differential Privacy against Timing Attacks

Recent works have started to theoretically investigate how we can protect differentially private programs against timing attacks, by making the joint distribution the output and the runtime differentially private JOT-DP. However, the existing approaches to JOT-DP have some limitations, particular...

Synopsis: Secure and Private Trend Inference from Encrypted Semantic Embeddings

WhatsApp and many other commonly used communication platforms guarantee end-to-end encryption E2EE, which requires that service providers lack the cryptographic keys to read communications on their own platforms. WhatsApp's privacy-preserving design makes it difficult to study important phenomena...
