EnCAgg: Enhanced Clustering Aggregation for Robust Federated Learning against Dynamic Model Poisoning
Researchers have developed a new method called EnCAgg to improve the robustness of federated learning against dynamic model poisoning attacks. This approach uses a small set of known benign clients as references to accurately identify and filter out malicious gradients. The method incorporates density-based clustering in a low-dimensional space and a gradient generator model to reconnect sparse benign gradients, ultimately allowing more legitimate data to participate in the aggregation process.
