TL;DR

Abstract

: With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technologies in machine learning-as-a-service (MLaaS), deep learning-based intelligent models have demonstrated high value in applications such as trend prediction and risk assessment. However, MLaaS data are typically highly sensitive and contain private information. In cross-institutional collaborative modeling scenarios, different departments and local centers often hold partial, heterogeneous data resources on MLaaS platforms. Given data security, privacy, and compliance requirements, raw data are difficult to share directly, which makes it challenging to apply centralized model training methods. This paper proposes FedE, a multi-precision, multi-source, heterogeneous privacy-preserving federated learning training method based on functional encryption. By introducing a multi-precision joint-computation mechanism, this method enhances numerical adaptation during ciphertext computation. Besides, combined with differential privacy techniques, it prevents model parameter updates from easily compromising privacy in cross-institutional federated learning. Based on the federated learning training process, a secure training framework for sensitive MLaaS data is constructed. Finally, experiments demonstrate the security and efficiency of the proposed approach.

A Federated Deep Learning Paradigm for Privacy-Preserving Cloud Applications

Deep learning is becoming popular in cloud applications and serves to provide intelligent services; data aggregation in a central location makes sensitive information vulnerable to privacy breaches, regulatory infractions, and adversarial manipulation. All modern privacy mechanisms offer partial protection and frequently lack accuracy, scalability, or practicality in their operations. To overcome these limitations, a federated deep learning model is formulated so that secure joint learning can occur without transferring raw data across the domains of ownership. The framework incorporates training that is decentralized, training that uses differential privacy, training that uses secure aggregation, training that uses encrypted communication, and training that uses trust-based anomaly defense to defend against leakage, poisoning, and inference attacks. It also supports heterogeneous and highly non-IID datasets using adaptive coordination and stability-relevant participation regulation and meets emerging data protection requirements. The methods of resource-conscious orchestration and the optimization of communication eliminate overhead without obstructing the effectiveness of learning. The paradigm has therefore formed a privacy-by-design intelligent cloud ecosystem which ensures confidentiality, maintains performance, enhances robustness, and ensures responsible AI implementation in privacy-related sectors of healthcare, finance, governance, and smart infrastructure.

A Hybrid Federated Privacy-Aware Deep Learning Framework for Secure Data Governance in Cloud Systems

The use of cloud-based web systems has increased the issue of data privacy, compliance on regulations and secure control of distributed enterprise information. The traditional centralized machine learning models mandate aggregation of data in one server which makes it more dangerous to expose sensitive information. To overcome these limitations, model combines TF-IDF-based features extractions with a deep neural network classifier trained under a federated learning system, and no longer needs raw this paper suggests a Hybrid Federated Privacy-Aware Deep Neural Network (HFPA-DNN) to learn the features of privacy-controllable data on the cloud. The data sharing among distributed cloud nodes is proposed. The model uses the Adam optimization algorithm, binary cross-entropy loss and federated averaging (FedAvg) to aggregate global models. A non-compulsory differentiation privacy system is involved in order to increase resistance to inference and reconstruction attacks. The HFPA-DNN performance is compared to the traditional machine learning baselines, which are Logistic Regression, Support Vector Machines, Random Forest, and centralized deep neural networks. As experimental findings indicate, the suggested strategy can attain a better accuracy, F1-score, and ROC-AUC, and a significant decrease in the risks of privacy exposure and preserving in scalable training performance. Through training curves, confusion matrices, ROC and precision- recall analysis, ablation studies and statistical comparison, the strength and use of the framework in ensuring data governance in the cloud in a secure setting is always verified. The results demonstrate that HFPA-DNN is an efficient trade-off to guarantee predictive performance, low computational cost, and privacy in distributed web system.

Enhanced Federated Learning Systems Enabling Secure, Privacy-Centric, and Distributed Model Training Across Cloud–Edge Layers

The need to train distributed models on cloud and edge devices is of growing concern in terms of security, privacy, and efficiency. Federated learning (FL) is a potential solution to training machine learning models without causing data decentralization, but its implementation in cloud-edge systems creates issues like data heterogeneity, communication overhead, and susceptibility to security attacks. To counteract this, the paper introduces a stronger federated learning architecture that guarantees the security and privacy-friendly model training at cloud and edge layers. The frameworks are new algorithms, which take into consideration the latest encryption algorithms and differential privacy schemes, and optimization of communication protocols to provide better efficiency. This solution creates secure aggregation and a hybrid edge-cloud interaction model, and it reduces the risks of data leakage and unauthorized access to the information during the training process. The results of the experiments show that the improved federated learning framework attains a notable degree of balance concerning the model accuracy, privacy preservation, and communication cost, which is better in security and computational efficiency than the current federated learning frameworks. The present paper adds a powerful framework of safe, privacy-confidential zed, and distributed cloud-edge machine learning as a basis of future developments in the field.
