A Survey on Privacy and Security in Distributed Cloud Computing: Exploring Federated Learning and Beyond

Blog Article

The increasing need to process large, high-dimensional datasets and the substantial computational Wart Removers power required have made the use of distributed cloud servers essential.These servers provide cost-effective solutions that make storage and computing accessible to ordinary users.However, they might face significant vulnerabilities, including data leakage, metadata spoofing, insecure programming interfaces, malicious insiders, and denial of service.To gain public trust in distributed computing, addressing concerns related to privacy and security while ensuring high performance and efficiency is crucial.Multiparty computation, differential privacy, trusted execution environments, and federated learning are the four major approaches developed to address these issues.

This survey paper reviews and compares these four approaches based on a structured framework, by highlighting recent top-tier research papers published in prestigious journals and conferences.Particular attention is given to progress in federated learning, which trains a model across multiple devices without sharing the actual data, keeping data private and secure.The survey also highlights federated learning techniques, including secure federated learning, by detecting malicious updates and privacy-preserving federated AIR INTAKE learning via data encryption, data perturbation, and anonymization, as new paradigms for building responsible computing systems.Finally, the survey discusses future research directions for connecting academic innovations with real-world industrial applications.
