Abstract

With the expansion of the Internet of Things (IoT) development and application, federated learning has gained higher popularity in industrial researching fields. However, the security issues in federated learning have become hot-spots in the research area, such as privacy-preserving and poisoning attacks. This paper proposes a robust blockchained multi-layer decentralized federated learning (RBML-DFL) framework to ensure the federated learning's robustness. Firstly, by adopting the three-layered framework, the blockchain connects the federated learning components to secure the privacy and data safety of federated learning. Secondly, the proposed framework provides resilience on poisoning attacks to the central model compared to typical federated learning frameworks. Lastly, the decentralized structure associated with the blockchain tracing back mechanism can prevent the central server failure or mal-function compared to centralized federated learning. We evaluate and compare the proposed framework with other state-of-the-art federated learning frameworks on the accuracy, latency, and system robustness under poisoning attacks. The results show that the proposed RBML-DFL framework outperforms state-of-the-art baseline frameworks on all three metrics: accuracy, latency, and the robustness of the federated learning.
