Free Privacy Protection for Wireless Federated Learning: Enjoy It or Suffer from It?

Inherent communication noises have the potential to preserve privacy for wireless federated learning WFL but have been overlooked in digital communication systems predominantly using floating-point number standards, e.g., IEEE 754, for data storage and transmission. This is due to the potentially...

Differential Privacy Analysis of Decentralized Gossip Averaging under Varying Threat Models

Fully decentralized training of machine learning models offers significant advantages in scalability, robustness, and fault tolerance. However, achieving differential privacy DP in such settings is challenging due to the absence of a central aggregator and varying trust assumptions among nodes. I...
