A Privacy-Preserving Federated Learning Scheme Against Poisoning Attacks in Smart Grid
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Privacy preservation in federated learning (FL) has received considerable attention and many approaches have been proposed. However, these approaches rendered the uploaded gradients invisible to the server, which poses a significant challenge in defending against poisoning attacks. In poisoning attacks, malicious or compromised participants use poisoned training data or forged local updates to disrupt the training process. It is hard for cloud servers to defend against poisoning attacks due to the invisibility of gradients. To address this issue, we propose a privacy-preserving FL scheme (PFLS) against poisoning attacks to eliminate the impact of model poisoning attacks while protecting the privacy of participants. Specifically, a dynamic adaptive defense mechanism is designed to mitigate the impact of malicious gradients and locate malicious participants. To protect participants’ privacy, a multidimensional homomorphic encryption method is constructed with a hierarchical aggregation architecture. The security analysis illustrates that the PFLS scheme can ensure the privacy of FL participants. The experimental results demonstrate that a high-detection rate of malicious participants and a balance between efficiency and robustness are achieved.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
