Privacy-Preserving Distributed Learning in IoT Systems: A Unified Threat Model and Evaluation Framework
The increasing deployment of Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices has accelerated the use of distributed learning frameworks, where data remains local while model updates are shared across decentralized systems. Although this reduces centralized data collection, it introduces privacy risks through the exchange of gradients, model parameters, and intermediate representations. A variety of privacy-preserving techniques have been proposed to address these risks, including differential privacy, cryptographic methods, and lightweight system-level approaches. However, existing surveys often evaluate these methods in isolation and lack a unified framework for comparing their effectiveness under real...
