Random Access Expectation in DNA Storage and Fountain Codes

Christoph Hofmeister, Rawad Bitar, Eitan Yaakobi

Motivated by DNA data storage, we study the expected number of coded symbols drawn from a linear code until a desired information symbol can be decoded - the random access expectat…

On the Extension of Private Distributed Matrix Multiplication Schemes to the Grid Partition

Christoph Hofmeister, Razane Tajeddine, Antonia Wachter-Zeh +1

We consider polynomial codes for private distributed matrix multiplication (PDMM/SDMM). Existing codes for PDMM are either specialized for the outer product partitioning (OPP), or…

Perfect Privacy for Discriminator-Based Byzantine-Resilient Federated Learning

Yue Xia, Christoph Hofmeister, Maximilian Egger +1

Federated learning (FL) shows great promise in large-scale machine learning but introduces new privacy and security challenges. We propose ByITFL and LoByITFL, two novel FL schemes…

CAT and DOG: Improved Codes for Private Distributed Matrix Multiplication

Christoph Hofmeister, Rawad Bitar, Antonia Wachter-Zeh

We present novel constructions of polynomial codes for private distributed matrix multiplication (PDMM/SDMM) using outer product partitioning (OPP). We extend the degree table fram…

Scalable and Reliable Over-the-Air Federated Edge Learning

Maximilian Egger, Christoph Hofmeister, Cem Kaya +2

Federated edge learning (FEEL) has emerged as a core paradigm for large-scale optimization. However, FEEL still suffers from a communication bottleneck due to the transmission of h…

LoByITFL: Low Communication Secure and Private Federated Learning

Yue Xia, Maximilian Egger, Christoph Hofmeister +1

Privacy of the clients' data and security against Byzantine clients are key challenges in Federated Learning (FL). Existing solutions to joint privacy and security incur sacrifices…
