Federated Deep Learning with Bayesian Privacy
Abstract
Federated learning (FL) aims to protect data privacy by cooperatively learning a model without sharing private data among users. For Federated Learning of Deep Neural Network with billions of model parameters, existing privacy-preserving solutions are unsatisfactory. Homomorphic encryption (HE) based methods provide secure privacy protections but suffer from extremely high computational and communication overheads rendering it almost useless in practice . Deep learning with Differential Privacy (DP) was implemented as a practical learning algorithm at a manageable cost in complexity. However, DP is vulnerable to aggressive Bayesian restoration attacks as disclosed in the literature and demonstrated in experimental results of this work. To address the aforementioned perplexity, we propose a novel Bayesian Privacy (BP) framework which enables Bayesian restoration attacks to be formulated as the probability of reconstructing private data from observed public information. Specifically, the proposed BP framework accurately quantifies privacy loss by Kullback-Leibler (KL) Divergence between the prior distribution about the privacy data and the posterior distribution of restoration private data conditioning on exposed information}. To our best knowledge, this Bayesian Privacy analysis is the first to provides theoretical justification of secure privacy-preserving capabilities against Bayesian restoration attacks. As a concrete use case, we demonstrate that a novel federated deep…
