Li, Y., Chang, T.-H., Chi, C.-Y..  2020.  Secure Federated Averaging Algorithm with Differential Privacy. 2020 IEEE 30th International Workshop on Machine Learning for Signal Processing (MLSP). :1–6.
Federated learning (FL), as a recent advance of distributed machine learning, is capable of learning a model over the network without directly accessing the client's raw data. Nevertheless, the clients' sensitive information can still be exposed to adversaries via differential attacks on messages exchanged between the parameter server and clients. In this paper, we consider the widely used federating averaging (FedAvg) algorithm and propose to enhance the data privacy by the differential privacy (DP) technique, which obfuscates the exchanged messages by properly adding Gaussian noise. We analytically show that the proposed secure FedAvg algorithm maintains an O(l/T) convergence rate, where T is the total number of stochastic gradient descent (SGD) updates for local model parameters. Moreover, we demonstrate how various algorithm parameters can impact on the algorithm communication efficiency. Experiment results are presented to justify the obtained analytical results on the performance of the proposed algorithm in terms of testing accuracy.

Protskaya, Yanina, Veltri, Luca.  2019.  Broker Bridging Mechanism for Providing Anonymity in MQTT. 2019 10th International Conference on Networks of the Future (NoF). :110—113.
With the growth of the number of smart devices the range of fields where they are used is growing too, and it is essential to protect the communication between them. In addition to data integrity and confidentiality, for which standard mechanisms exists, a security service that may also be required is anonymity, allowing entities to communicate with each other in such a way that no third party knows that they are the participants of a certain message exchange. In this paper we propose a mechanism for creating anonymous communications using MQTT protocol. The design of our solution is based on dynamic broker bridging mechanism and allows clients to subscribe and to publish to a topic remaining incognito.

Considering the security of message exchange between service robot and cloud, we propose to authenticate the message integrity based on RSA algorithm and digital signature. In the process of message transmission, RSA algorithm is used to encrypt message for service robot and decrypt message for cloud. The digital signature algorithm is used to authenticate the source of the message. The results of experiment have proved that the proposed scheme can guarantee the security of message transmission.
