Resisting Backdoor Attacks in Federated Learning via Bidirectional Elections and Individual Perspective

Zhen Qin, Feiyi Chen, Chen Zhi +2

Existing approaches defend against backdoor attacks in federated learning (FL) mainly through a) mitigating the impact of infected models, or b) excluding infected models. The form…
