用抗量子加密保护医疗联邦学习,防数据泄露和恶意攻击
Zero-Knowledge Federated Learning with Lattice-Based Hybrid Encryption for Quantum-Resilient Medical AI
- 结合抗量子密钥封装、零知识证明和同态加密,实现安全协作训练
- 100% 拒绝异常梯度更新,模型准确率保持100%不下降
- 适合注重隐私与安全的医疗AI研究,尤其防范未来量子攻击
联邦学习(FL)使医院可在不集中患者数据的情况下协同训练医疗AI模型。然而,模型更新交换存在严重漏洞:梯度反演攻击可重构患者信息,恶意客户端可能污染全局模型,且‘现在采集,未来解密’(HNDL)威胁使现有加密通信面临未来量子攻击风险。本文提出ZKFL-PQ(零知识联邦学习,后量子),一种三层密码协议,融合(i)ML-KEM(FIPS 203)实现抗量子密钥封装,(ii)基于格的零知识证明验证梯度范数约束完整性,(iii)BFV同态加密实现隐私保护聚合。我们形式化安全模型,并在经典随机预言模型下证明了正确性与零知识性,基于Module-LWE、Ring-LWE和SIS假设。在5个联邦客户端、10轮训练的合成医学影像数据上评估,本协议实现100%拒绝范数越界更新,同时保持模型准确率100%,而标准FL在此情况下准确率暴跌至23%。计算开销约20倍,但兼容每日或每周训练周期的临床研究流程。当前防御仅针对大范数恶意更新;对细微低范数或方向性投毒的鲁棒性仍为未来工作。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Federated Learning (FL) enables collaborative training of medical AI models across hospitals without centralizing patient data. However, the exchange of model updates exposes critical vulnerabilities: gradient inversion attacks can reconstruct patient information, Byzantine clients can poison the global model, and the \emph{Harvest Now, Decrypt Later} (HNDL) threat renders today's encrypted traffic vulnerable to future quantum adversaries.We introduce \textbf{ZKFL-PQ} (\emph{Zero-Knowledge Federated Learning, Post-Quantum}), a three-tiered cryptographic protocol that hybridizes (i) ML-KEM (FIPS~203) for quantum-resistant key encapsulation, (ii) lattice-based Zero-Knowledge Proofs for verifiable \emph{norm-constrained} gradient integrity, and (iii) BFV homomorphic encryption for privacy-preserving aggregation. We formalize the security model and prove correctness and zero-knowledge properties under the Module-LWE, Ring-LWE, and SIS assumptions \emph{in the classical random oracle model}. We evaluate ZKFL-PQ on synthetic medical imaging data across 5 federated clients over 10 training rounds. Our protocol achieves \textbf{100\% rejection of norm-violating updates} while maintaining model accuracy at 100\%, compared to a catastrophic drop to 23\% under standard FL. The computational overhead (factor $\sim$20$\times$) is analyzed and shown to be compatible with clinical research workflows operating on daily or weekly training cycles. We emphasize that the current defense guarantees rejection of large-norm malicious updates; robustness against subtle low-norm or directional poisoning remains future work.
