Detection and Prevention Against Poisoning Attacks in Federated Learning

24 Oct 2022  ·  Viktor Valadi, Madeleine Englund, Mark Spanier, Austin O'brien ·

This paper proposes and investigates a new approach for detecting and preventing several different types of poisoning attacks from affecting a centralized Federated Learning model via average accuracy deviation detection (AADD). By comparing each client's accuracy to all clients' average accuracy, AADD detect clients with an accuracy deviation. The implementation is further able to blacklist clients that are considered poisoned, securing the global model from being affected by the poisoned nodes. The proposed implementation shows promising results in detecting poisoned clients and preventing the global model's accuracy from deteriorating.
