New research highlights practical gap in Vertical Federated Learning backdoor defenses

A new paper on arXiv explores the practical vulnerabilities of backdoor attacks in Vertical Federated Learning (VFL). The research highlights a significant gap between theoretical findings and real-world application, noting that existing defenses often rely on unrealistic assumptions and flawed evaluation methods. To address this, the paper introduces BVBench, a new benchmark designed for practical and comprehensive evaluation of VFL backdoor risks, aiming to guide future research toward more robust defenses.
