FinSecure-FL: a blockchain-secured federated support vector regression framework with adaptive aggregation for privacy-preserving financial market prediction
摘要
Accurate financial market prediction requires collaborative learning across institutions that hold sensitive, mutually inaccessible data. Centralized approaches are incompatible with this constraint, while existing federated learning (FL) solutions for finance lack principled defenses against model poisoning, formal privacy guarantees, and regulatory-grade auditability. To address these gaps, we propose FinSecure-FL, a Blockchain-Coordinated Federated Support Vector Regression framework that integrates four complementary components: (1) distributed SVR nodes with adaptive lookback selection and FedProx regularization to handle non-IID market-regime heterogeneity; (2) a four-stage blockchain security pipeline combining norm clipping, Laplace differential privacy, cosine Byzantine Fault Tolerance validation, and SHA-256 hash-chaining; (3) a combined size-and-reputation weighted FedAvg aggregation scheme; (4) and a Proof-of-Authority ledger providing a tamper-evident, timestamped audit trail compliant with MiFID II Article 16 and SEC Rule 17a-4 record keeping requirements. The framework is evaluated on nine years of NASDAQ Composite daily data partitioned across three non-IID market-regime nodes: Pre-Volatility Baseline, COVID-19 Crisis, and Post-COVID Rate-Hike Regime. Performance is assessed through five regression metrics (MSE, RMSE, MAE, MAPE,
