Abstract:  

Federated Learning received a lot of interest in its privacy protection feature. Federated Learning models are vulnerable to several inference attacks, like membership inference attacks. In a membership inference attack, an attacker attacks the federated learning model to identify whether specific data samples have been used during the model training. Federated Learning models must be secured, especially during training, to preserve the privacy of the training datasets and to reduce information leakage.

We compared two membership inference attacks in a federated learning environment and checked the effectiveness of the countermeasures on them. Additionally, we show through experiments which attack is more efficient with countermeasures while maintaining a comparable level of model accuracy.
