Abstract
Federated Learning (FL) represents a significant advancement in distributed
machine learning, enabling multiple participants to collaboratively train
models without sharing raw data. This decentralized approach enhances privacy
by keeping data on local devices. However, FL introduces new privacy
challenges, as model updates shared during training can inadvertently leak
sensitive information. This chapter delves into the core privacy concerns
within FL, including the risks of data reconstruction, model inversion attacks,
and membership inference. It explores various privacy-preserving techniques,
such as Differential Privacy (DP) and Secure Multi-Party Computation (SMPC),
which are designed to mitigate these risks. The chapter also examines the
trade-offs between model accuracy and privacy, emphasizing the importance of
balancing these factors in practical implementations. Furthermore, it discusses
the role of regulatory frameworks, such as GDPR, in shaping the privacy
standards for FL. By providing a comprehensive overview of the current state of
privacy in FL, this chapter aims to equip researchers and practitioners with
the knowledge necessary to navigate the complexities of secure federated
learning environments. The discussion highlights both the potential and
limitations of existing privacy-enhancing techniques, offering insights into
future research directions and the development of more robust solutions.
