Abstract: Techniques for distributed federated learning leverage a multi-layered defense strategy to provide for reduced information leakage. In lieu of aggregating model updates centrally, an aggregation function is decentralized into multiple independent and functionally-equivalent execution entities, each running within its own trusted executed environment (TEE). The TEEs enable confidential and remote-attestable federated aggregation. Preferably, each aggregator entity runs within an encrypted virtual machine that support runtime in-memory encryption. Each party remotely authenticates the TEE before participating in the training. By using multiple decentralized aggregators, parties are enabled to partition their respective model updates at model-parameter granularity, and can map single weights to a specific aggregator entity. Parties also can dynamically shuffle fragmentary model updates at each training iteration to further obfuscate the information dispatched to each aggregator execution entity.
