PPDA - Privacy-Preserving Data Aggregation in Federated Learning for Secure IoT Applications
Tarun Adhikari, Tapomoy Adhikari
arXiv, 2023

Privacy concerns in traditional centralized machine learning have led to the development of Federated Learning (FL), where models are trained across decentralized devices, preserving data privacy. However, aggregating updates from these devices poses potential risks to individual privacy. This paper explores Privacy-Preserving Data Aggregation (PPDA) techniques within FL to address this concern in the context of IoT applications. Key concepts, motivations, common techniques, challenges, research directions, benefits, and the importance of PPDA in FL for securing IoT applications are discussed. The paper emphasizes the need to develop lightweight, efficient, and secure PPDA schemes tailored for resource-constrained IoT devices, optimizing communication while ensuring robust privacy protections. Additionally, it advocates for exploring combined PPDA techniques and applying these methodologies across diverse IoT domains to overcome privacy challenges and comply with regulatory standards. The research underscores the crucial role of PPDA in facilitating collaborative learning while safeguarding sensitive data in IoT environments.
