Abstract

Local differential privacy (LDP) can mask poisoning behavior in crowdsensing by making poisoned sensory data difficult to distinguish from benign sensory data, which in turn makes malicious workers difficult to identify and undermines reliable truth discovery. Conventional value based defenses lose discriminative power when privacy noise is large, whereas recent defenses designed for LDP settings rely on computationally expensive optimization or game theoretic modeling. To address this problem, we propose 4D-KDE, a lightweight defense framework. Specifically, 4D-KDE represents each worker using four residual statistics: mean bias, magnitude, skewness, and kurtosis. It then applies kernel density estimation to the resulting feature vectors, assigns anomaly scores to workers, and filters suspicious workers before aggregation. Experiments on a synthetic dataset and a real-world dataset show that 4D-KDE reduces attack gain and achieves up to 24× speedup over representative state-of-the-art baselines.

Data Poisoning Detection for Secure Federated Learning With Dropout-Resilient Aggregation

Federated learning (FL) enables multiple clients to train a global model collaboratively without sharing their raw data. However, compromised clients can launch data poisoning attacks by submitting malicious local updates and thereby degrade model accuracy. In addition, unprotected model updates may disclose sensitive...

FedShield: A Dual Algorithm Defense Against Backdoor and Poisoning Attacks in Federated Learning

Federated Learning (FL) allows multiple clients to train a single model across devices, safeguarding data privacy in decentralised setups. However, while data does not leave the client, clients can still manipulate the model updates. This makes FL susceptible to poisoning and backdoor attacks. Backdoor attacks are part...
