Abstract

For the problem of participants' private leakage on the model parameters in the existing adaptive quantization federated learning schemes, this paper proposed an efficient and secure adaptive quantization federated learning scheme suitable for Artificial Intelligence of Things. This scheme utilized adaptive quantization technology to reduce the communication overhead for participants. A secure aggregation protocol was constructed in two aggregation servers to protect the privacy of local model parameters by combining the Diffie-Hellman key exchange protocol, secret sharing schemes, and oblivious transfer protocols. Our scheme was proved to be secure under reasonable assumptions. The experimental results showed that the scheme can not only achieve a global model with high accuracy, but also can significantly reduce communication overhead and computation costs for protecting participants’ privacy. This scheme is suitable for resource-constrained, such as lightweight IoT devices in Artificial Intelligence of Things.
