StratFL combats covert model poisoning in federated learning

Researchers have developed StratFL, a novel federated learning strategy designed to counter covert model poisoning attacks. These attacks, often employed by advanced persistent threats, involve intermittently injecting malicious model updates. StratFL utilizes an adversarial search algorithm and belief update mechanisms for both the server and adversary, modeling their interaction as an imperfect repeated game. Experiments on MNIST and CIFAR-10 datasets show StratFL improves accuracy by 10% over existing methods. AI
