Coordinated Attacks Against Federated Learning: A Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning Approach

2021-09-29 · Wen Shen, Henger Li, Zizhan Zheng

We propose a model-based multi-agent reinforcement learning attack framework against federated learning systems. Our framework first approximates the distribution of the clients' aggregated data through cooperative multi-agent coordination. It then learns an attack policy through multi-agent reinforcement learning. Depending on the availability of the server's federated learning configurations, we introduce algorithms for both white-box attacks and black-box attacks. Our attack methods are capable of handling scenarios when the clients' data is independent and identically distributed and when the data is independent but not necessarily identically distributed. We further derive an upper bound on the attacker's performance loss due to inaccurate distribution estimation. Experimental results on real-world datasets demonstrate that the proposed attack framework achieves strong performance even if the server deploys advanced defense mechanisms. Our work sheds light on how to attack federated learning systems through multi-agent coordination.

Distributed Filtering Design with Enhanced Resilience to Coordinated Byzantine Attacks

2023-07-26 · Ashkan Moradi, Vinay Chakravarthi Gogineni, Naveen K. D. Venkategowda, Stefan Werner

This paper proposes a Byzantine-resilient consensus-based distributed filter (BR-CDF) wherein network agents employ partial sharing of state parameters. We characterize the performance and convergence of the BR-CDF and s…

RVFR: Robust Vertical Federated Learning via Feature Subspace Recovery

2021-09-29 · Jing Liu, Chulin Xie, Krishnaram Kenthapadi, Oluwasanmi O Koyejo 외

Vertical Federated Learning (VFL) is a distributed learning paradigm that allows multiple agents to jointly train a global model when each agent holds a different subset of features for the same sample(s). VFL is known t…
