Boosting Gradient Leakage Attacks: Data Reconstruction in Realistic FL Settings

Federated learning FL enables collaborative model training among multiple clients without the need to expose raw data. Its ability to safeguard privacy, at the heart of FL, has recently been a hot-button debate topic. To elaborate, several studies have introduced a type of attacks known as gradie...

Sybil-Based Virtual Data Poisoning Attacks in Federated Learning

Federated learning is vulnerable to poisoning attacks by malicious adversaries. Existing methods often involve high costs to achieve effective attacks. To address this challenge, we propose a sybil-based virtual data poisoning attack, where a malicious client generates sybil nodes to amplify the...
