一次设置即可长期安全聚合,支持动态用户且防信息泄露。

Setup Once, Secure Always: A Single-Setup Secure Federated Learning Aggregation Protocol with Forward and Backward Secrecy for Dynamic Users

  • 仅需一次密钥设置,用对称加密掩码更新,免用户间通信。
  • 相比顶尖协议计算量降低99%,模型精度保持接近最优。
  • 适合资源受限设备,特别在用户频繁变动场景下实用。

联邦学习(FL)允许多方协作训练模型而不共享原始数据,适用于隐私敏感场景。然而,本地模型更新仍可能泄露敏感信息。安全聚合协议可确保仅公开聚合结果。现有单次设置协议虽高效,但难支持动态用户参与,且缺乏前向与后向保密性。本文提出一种仅需一次设置的新型安全聚合协议,支持动态用户加入、容忍掉线,并实现前向与后向保密。协议采用轻量级对称同态加密结合密钥否定技术高效掩码更新,无需用户间通信;为防御模型不一致攻击,引入基于消息认证码(MAC)的低开销验证机制。我们在半诚实与恶意敌手模型下给出形式化安全证明,并实现完整原型。实验表明,本协议在用户端计算量上相比e-SeaFL(ACSAC'24)最高降低99%,同时保持竞争力的模型精度,适用于实际部署,尤其适合资源受限设备。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Federated Learning (FL) enables multiple users to collaboratively train a machine learning model without sharing raw data, making it suitable for privacy-sensitive applications. However, local model or weight updates can still leak sensitive information. Secure aggregation protocols mitigate this risk by ensuring that only the aggregated updates are revealed. Among these, single-setup protocols, where key generation and exchange occur only once, are the most efficient due to reduced communication and computation overhead. However, existing single-setup protocols often lack support for dynamic user participation and do not provide strong privacy guarantees such as forward and backward secrecy. \par In this paper, we present a novel secure aggregation protocol that requires only a single setup for the entire FL training. Our protocol supports dynamic user participation, tolerates dropouts, and achieves both forward and backward secrecy. It leverages lightweight symmetric homomorphic encryption with a key negation technique to mask updates efficiently, eliminating the need for user-to-user communication. To defend against model inconsistency attacks, we introduce a low-overhead verification mechanism using message authentication codes (MACs). We provide formal security proofs under both semi-honest and malicious adversarial models and implement a full prototype. Experimental results show that our protocol reduces user-side computation by up to $99\%$ compared to state-of-the-art protocols like e-SeaFL (ACSAC'24), while maintaining competitive model accuracy. These features make our protocol highly practical for real-world FL deployments, especially on resource-constrained devices.
