Abstract: A GAN includes a first device and a second device. A discriminator model in the first device is trained to discriminate samples from a transmitter in the first device from samples from other transmitters, by collaborating by the first device with the second device to train the discriminator model to discriminate between samples from its transmitter and spoofed samples received from a generator model in the second device and to train the generator model in the second device to produce more accurate spoofed samples received by the first device during the training. The training results in a trained discriminator model, which is distributed to another device for use by the other device to discriminate samples received by the other device in order to perform authentication of the transmitter in the first device. The other device performs authentication of the transmitter of the first device using the distributed model.

Abstract: Distributed machine learning employs a central fusion server that coordinates the distributed learning process. Preferably, each of set of learning agents that are typically distributed from one another initially obtains initial parameters for a model from the fusion server. Each agent trains using a dataset local to the agent. The parameters that result from this local training (for a current iteration) are then passed back to the fusion server in a secure manner, and a partial homomorphic encryption scheme is then applied. In particular, the fusion server fuses the parameters from all the agents, and it then shares the results with the agents for a next iteration. In this approach, the model parameters are secured using the encryption scheme, thereby protecting the privacy of the training data, even from the fusion server itself.
