Federated learning enables mutually distrusting participants to collaboratively learn a distributed machine learning model without revealing anything but the models output. Generic federated learning has been studied extensively, and several learning protocols, as well as open-source frameworks, have been developed. Yet, their over pursuit of computing efficiency and fast implementation might diminish the security and privacy guarantees of participants training data, about which little is known thus far. In this paper, we consider an honest-but-curious adversary who participants in training a distributed ML model, does not deviate from the defined learning protocol, but attempts to infer private training data from the legitimately received information. In this setting, we design and implement two practical attacks, reverse sum attack and reverse multiplication attack, neither of which will affect the accuracy of the learned model. By empirically studying the privacy leakage of two learning protocols, we show that our attacks are (1) effective - the adversary successfully steal the private training data, even when the intermediate outputs are encrypted to protect data privacy; (2) evasive - the adversarys malicious behavior does not deviate from the protocol specification and deteriorate any accuracy of the target model; and (3) easy - the adversary needs little prior knowledge about the data distribution of the target participant. We also experimentally show that the leaked information is as effective as the raw training data through training an alternative classifier on the leaked information. We further discuss potential countermeasures and their challenges, which we hope may lead to several promising research directions.

In the federated learning system, parameter gradients are shared among participants and the central modulator, while the original data never leave their protected source domain. However, the gradient itself might carry enough information for precise inference of the original data. By reporting their parameter gradients to the central server, client datasets are exposed to inference attacks from adversaries. In this paper, we propose a quantitative metric based on mutual information for clients to evaluate the potential risk of information leakage in their gradients. Mutual information has received increasing attention in the machine learning and data mining community over the past few years. However, existing mutual information estimation methods cannot handle high-dimensional variables. In this paper, we propose a novel method to approximate the mutual information between the high-dimensional gradients and batched input data. Experimental results show that the proposed metric reliably reflect the extent of information leakage in federated learning. In addition, using the proposed metric, we investigate the influential factors of risk level. It is proven that, the risk of information leakage is related to the status of the task model, as well as the inherent data distribution.
Federated learning (FL) is an emerging paradigm that enables multiple organizations to jointly train a model without revealing their private data to each other. This paper studies {it vertical} federated learning, which tackles the scenarios where (i ) collaborating organizations own data of the same set of users but with disjoint features, and (ii) only one organization holds the labels. We propose Pivot, a novel solution for privacy preserving vertical decision tree training and prediction, ensuring that no intermediate information is disclosed other than those the clients have agreed to release (i.e., the final tree model and the prediction output). Pivot does not rely on any trusted third party and provides protection against a semi-honest adversary that may compromise $m-1$ out of $m$ clients. We further identify two privacy leakages when the trained decision tree model is released in plaintext and propose an enhanced protocol to mitigate them. The proposed solution can also be extended to tree ensemble models, e.g., random forest (RF) and gradient boosting decision tree (GBDT) by treating single decision trees as building blocks. Theoretical and experimental analysis suggest that Pivot is efficient for the privacy achieved.
Training deep neural networks via federated learning allows clients to share, instead of the original data, only the model trained on their data. Prior work has demonstrated that in practice a clients private information, unrelated to the main learni ng task, can be discovered from the models gradients, which compromises the promised privacy protection. However, there is still no formal approach for quantifying the leakage of private information via the shared updated model or gradients. In this work, we analyze property inference attacks and define two metrics based on (i) an adaptation of the empirical $mathcal{V}$-information, and (ii) a sensitivity analysis using Jacobian matrices allowing us to measure changes in the gradients with respect to latent information. We show the applicability of our proposed metrics in localizing private latent information in a layer-wise manner and in two settings where (i) we have or (ii) we do not have knowledge of the attackers capabilities. We evaluate the proposed metrics for quantifying information leakage on three real-world datasets using three benchmark models.

Federated learning is a new machine learning paradigm which allows data parties to build machine learning models collaboratively while keeping their data secure and private. While research efforts on federated learning have been growing tremendously in the past two years, most existing works still depend on pre-existing public datasets and artificial partitions to simulate data federations due to the lack of high-quality labeled data generated from real-world edge applications. Consequently, advances on benchmark and model evaluations for federated learning have been lagging behind. In this paper, we introduce a real-world image dataset. The dataset contains more than 900 images generated from 26 street cameras and 7 object categories annotated with detailed bounding box. The data distribution is non-IID and unbalanced, reflecting the characteristic real-world federated learning scenarios. Based on this dataset, we implemented two mainstream object detection algorithms (YOLO and Faster R-CNN) and provided an extensive benchmark on model performance, efficiency, and communication in a federated learning setting. Both the dataset and algorithms are made publicly available.
In this paper, we address the problem of privacy-preserving training and evaluation of neural networks in an $N$-party, federated learning setting. We propose a novel system, POSEIDON, the first of its kind in the regime of privacy-preserving neural network training. It employs multiparty lattice-based cryptography to preserve the confidentiality of the training data, the model, and the evaluation data, under a passive-adversary model and collusions between up to $N-1$ parties. To efficiently execute the secure backpropagation algorithm for training neural networks, we provide a generic packing approach that enables Single Instruction, Multiple Data (SIMD) operations on encrypted data. We also introduce arbitrary linear transformations within the cryptographic bootstrapping operation, optimizing the costly cryptographic computations over the parties, and we define a constrained optimization problem for choosing the cryptographic parameters. Our experimental results show that POSEIDON achieves accuracy similar to centralized or decentralized non-private approaches and that its computation and communication overhead scales linearly with the number of parties. POSEIDON trains a 3-layer neural network on the MNIST dataset with 784 features and 60K samples distributed among 10 parties in less than 2 hours.
