Color Matters: Trigger Color Affects Success in Federated Backdoor Attacks

Kavindu Herath, Joshua C. Zhao, Saurabh Bagchi

Federated learning is vulnerable to backdoor attacks in which malicious clients inject poisoned updates while preserving benign-task performance. In this paper, we study a semantic…

Beyond Corner Patches: Semantics-Aware Backdoor Attack in Federated Learning

Kavindu Herath, Joshua Zhao, Saurabh Bagchi

Backdoor attacks on federated learning (FL) are most often evaluated with synthetic corner patches or out-of-distribution (OOD) patterns that are unlikely to arise in practice. In…

MAUI: Reconstructing Private Client Data in Federated Transfer Learning

Ahaan Dabholkar, Atul Sharma, Z. Berkay Celik +1

Recent works in federated learning (FL) have shown the utility of leveraging transfer learning for balancing the benefits of FL and centralized learning. In this setting, federated…

Are Fast Methods Stable in Adversarially Robust Transfer Learning?

Joshua C. Zhao, Saurabh Bagchi

Transfer learning is often used to decrease the computational cost of model training, as fine-tuning a model allows a downstream task to leverage the features learned from the pre-…

Leak and Learn: An Attacker's Cookbook to Train Using Leaked Data from Federated Learning

Joshua C. Zhao, Ahaan Dabholkar, Atul Sharma +1

Federated learning is a decentralized learning paradigm introduced to preserve privacy of client data. Despite this, prior work has shown that an attacker at the server can still r…
