Multi-Server Secure Aggregation with Arbitrary Collusion and Heterogeneous Security Constraints

Zhou Li, Xiang Zhang, Jiguang He +1

We study the fundamental limits of multi-server secure aggregation over a two-hop network where multiple servers, each connected to a disjoint subset of users, jointly compute the…

On Secure Gradient Coding with Uncoded Groupwise Keys

Xudong You, Kai Wan, Xiang Zhang +3

This paper considers a new secure gradient coding problem with uncoded groupwise keys, formalized as a (K, N, N_r, M, S) secure gradient coding model, where a user aims to compute…
