Privacy-Preserving Personalized Federated Learning (PPP-FL) for Medical Imaging

Federated learning (FL) is a distributed machine learning paradigm that reduces transmission costs, mitigates cross-border data sharing restrictions, and enhances privacy by keeping raw data on local devices.

Key points

  • Existing attack and defense strategies have largely been developed for centralized systems, and adapting them to FL introduces new challenges due to its unique architecture and training workflow.
  • In this work, we first propose a model inversion attack on FL systems using Deep Convolutional Generative Adversarial Networks (DCGANs) in the context of large-scale medical imaging.
  • We then examine the effect of client-side differential privacy (DP) in mitigating privacy leakage and incorporate personalized FL to improve model performance under DP settings.
  • Experiments on the Brain MRI ND-5 dataset show that DCGAN-based attacks can reconstruct semantically meaningful synthetic images, revealing significant risks to the privacy of training data.
