Secure aggregation is a fundamental primitive in privacy-preserving distributed learning systems, where an aggregator aims to compute the sum of users' inputs without revealing individual data. In this paper, we study a multi-server secure…
Secure aggregation is concerned with the task of securely uploading the inputs of multiple users to an aggregation server without letting the server know the inputs beyond their summation. It finds broad applications in distributed machine…
We provide new insights into an open problem recently posed by Yuan-Sun [ISIT 2025], concerning the minimum individual key rate required in the vector linear secure aggregation problem. Consider a distributed system with $K$ users, where…
This paper investigates the information-theoretic decentralized secure aggregation (DSA) problem under practical groupwise secret keys and collusion resilience. In DSA, $K$ users are interconnected through error-free broadcast channels.…
Secure aggregation, which is a core component of federated learning, aggregates locally trained models from distributed users at a central server. The ``secure'' nature of such aggregation consists of the fact that no information about the…
The secure summation problem is considered, where $K$ users, each holds an input, wish to compute the sum of their inputs at a server securely, i.e., without revealing any information beyond the sum even if the server may collude with any…
In hierarchical secure aggregation (HSA), a server communicates with clustered users through an intermediate layer of relays to compute the sum of users' inputs under two security requirements -- server security and relay security. Server…
This paper considers the secure aggregation problem for federated learning under an information theoretic cryptographic formulation, where distributed training nodes (referred to as users) train models based on their own local data and a…
We study the fundamental communication limits of information-theoretic secure aggregation in a hierarchical network consisting of a server, multiple relays, and multiple users per relay. Communication proceeds over two rounds and two hops,…
This paper studies the information theoretic secure aggregation problem in a three-layer hierarchical network with arbitrary heterogeneous data assignment, where clustered users communicate with an aggregation server through an intermediate…
This paper considers a multi-message secure aggregation with privacy problem, in which a server aims to compute $\sf K_c\geq 1$ linear combinations of local inputs from $\sf K$ distributed users. The problem addresses two tasks: (1)…
This paper considers a new secure gradient coding problem with uncoded groupwise keys, formalized as a (K, N, N_r, M, S) secure gradient coding model, where a user aims to compute the sum of the gradients from K datasets with the assistance…
Secure aggregation is motivated by federated learning (FL) where a cloud server aims to compute an {aggregated} model (i.e., weights of deep neural networks) of the locally-trained models of numerous clients {through an iterative…
In this paper, we study the fundamental limits of hierarchical secure aggregation under unreliable communication. We consider a hierarchical network where each client connects to multiple relays, and both client-to-relay and relay-to-server…
Information-theoretic topological secure aggregation (TSA)\cite{zhang2026information_regular} enables distributed users to compute neighborhood sums over arbitrary networks without revealing individual inputs, while remaining…
Secure aggregation (SA) is fundamental to privacy preservation in federated learning (FL), enabling model aggregation while preventing disclosure of individual user updates. This paper addresses hierarchical secure aggregation (HSA) against…
Decentralized secure aggregation (DSA) considers a fully-connected network of $K$ users, where each pair of users can communicate bidirectionally over an error-free channel. Each user holds a private input, and the goal is for each user to…
In the secure groupcast problem, a transmitter wants to securely groupcast a message with the maximum rate to the first $N$ of $K$ receivers by broadcasting with the minimum bandwidth, where the $K$ receivers are each equipped with a key…
The growing privacy concerns in distributed learning have led to the widespread adoption of secure aggregation techniques in distributed machine learning systems, such as federated learning. Motivated by a coded gradient aggregation problem…
This paper investigates the fundamental limits of information-theoretic decentralized secure aggregation (DSA) with user dropouts. We consider a fully decentralized network where $K$ users communicate over broadcast channels without a…
