AbstractFederated learning (FL) is a distributed learning approach, which allows the distributed computing nodes to collaboratively develop a global model while keeping their data locally. However, the issues of privacy-preserving and performance improvement hinder the applications of the FL in the industrial cyber-physical systems (ICPSs). In this work, we propose a privacy-preserving momentum FL approach, named PMFL, which uses the momentum term to accelerate the model convergence rate during the training process. Furthermore, a fully homomorphic encryption scheme CKKS is adopted to encrypt the gradient parameters of the industrial agents’ models for preserving their local privacy information. In particular, the cloud server calculates the global encrypted momentum term by utilizing the encrypted gradients based on the momentum gradient descent optimization algorithm (MGD). The performance of the proposed PMFL is evaluated on two common deep learning datasets, i.e., MNIST and Fashion-MNIST. Theoretical analysis and experiment results confirm that the proposed approach can improve the convergence rate while preserving the privacy information of the industrial agents.

The Ideal

Fully homomorphic encryption schemes available are not efficient enough to be practical, and a number of real-world applications require only that a homomorphic encryption scheme is somewhat homomorphic, even additively homomorphic and has much larger message space for efficiency. An additively homomorphic encryption scheme based heavily on Smart-Vercauteren encryption scheme (SV10 scheme, PKC 2010) is put forward, where both schemes each work with two ideals I and J. As a contribution of independent interest, a two-element representation of the ideal I is given and proven by factoring prime numbers in a number field. This two-element representation serves as the public key. The authors' scheme allows working over much larger message space than that of SV10 scheme by selecting the ideal I with larger decryption radius to generate public/private key pair, instead of choosing the ideal J as done in the SV10 scheme. The correctness and security of the scheme are shown, followed by setting parameters and computational results. The results indicate that this construction has much larger message space than SV10 scheme.

Multiple Clients

Fully homomorphic encryption schemes (FHE) are a type of encryption algorithm dedicated to data security in cloud computing. It allows for performing computations over ciphertext. In addition to this characteristic, a verifiable FHE scheme has the capacity to allow an end user to verify the correctness of the computations done by a cloud server on his encrypted data. Since FHE schemes are known to be greedy in term of processing consumption and slow in terms of runtime execution, it is very useful to look for improvement techniques and tools to improve FHE performance. Parallelizing computations is among the best tools one can use for FHE improvement. Batching is a kind of parallelization of computations when applied to an FHE scheme, it gives it the capacity of encrypting and homomorphically processing a vector of plaintexts as a single ciphertext. This is used in the context of cloud computing to perform a known function on several ciphertexts for multiple clients at the same time. The advantage here is in optimizing resources on the cloud side and improving the quality of services provided by the cloud computing. In this article, the authors will present a detailed survey of different FHE improvement techniques in the literature and apply the batching technique to a promising verifiable FHE (VFHE) recently presented by the authors at the WINCOM17 conference.
