Federated learning, a potent paradigm for collaborative machine learning
across multiple parties, offers significant promise for contemporary
industries. Nonetheless, its collaborative essence necessitates
addressing concerns pertaining to data security and privacy. Sensitive
user information, encompassing preferences, behaviors, and identities,
remains vulnerable to adversarial analysis, thereby revealing the
inadequacies of conventional privacy preservation strategies within
federated learning frameworks. To mitigate these challenges, this paper
proposes GSFL, an innovative federated learning architecture that
amalgamates smart contracts with group signatures. GSFL facilitates
secure and reliable distributed machine learning data sharing, while
concurrently bolstering privacy protection. Furthermore, its enhanced
decentralization fosters greater user participation in federated
learning initiatives. Empirical analysis and testing validate GSFL's
efficacy in satisfying the prerequisites for data sharing and privacy
preservation in federated learning contexts.30 Oct 2024Submitted to Expert Systems 30 Oct 2024Submission Checks Completed
