We introduce the Poisson Binomial mechanism (PBM), a discrete differential privacy mechanism for distributed mean estimation (DME) with applications to federated learning and analytics. We provide a tight analysis of its privacy guarantees,…
In this work, inspired by secret sharing schemes, we introduce a privacy-preserving approach for network consensus, by which all nodes in a network can reach an agreement on their states without exposing the individual state to neighbors.…
A distributed computing protocol consists of three components: (i) Data Localization: a network-wide dataset is decomposed into local datasets separately preserved at a network of nodes; (ii) Node Communication: the nodes hold individual…
