Federated Learning for Privacy-Preserving IoT
The proliferation of IoT devices generates enormous volumes of sensitive data at the network edge. This project develops communication-efficient and privacy-preserving federated learning protocols that allow IoT devices to collaboratively train models without centralizing data, addressing both privacy regulations and bandwidth constraints inherent to IoT deployments.
Research Objectives
- Minimize communication overhead in federated rounds across heterogeneous IoT hardware
- Incorporate differential privacy guarantees while preserving model utility
- Handle statistical heterogeneity (non-IID data) across geographically distributed IoT nodes
- Design hierarchical aggregation strategies for multi-tier IoT network topologies
Methods & Techniques
- Differential privacy mechanisms (Gaussian and Laplace noise injection)
- Gradient compression and sparsification for bandwidth efficiency
- Asynchronous federated optimization for slow or intermittent IoT clients
- Secure aggregation protocols to prevent model inversion attacks
