摘要

Federated Learning (FL) enables IoT devices to collaboratively train models without sharing raw data. However, privacy and accountability remain major challenges due to persistent identifiers and untrusted participants. We propose a lightweight FL framework integrating anonymous credentials and local differential privacy for unlinkable participation and secure model updates. A zk-SNARK-based revocation mechanism enables efficient verification and blacklisting of malicious clients. Experiments confirm low computational overhead and strong protection against inference and poisoning attacks.
