This paper provides an overview of the security and privacy challenges in federated learning (FL), a distributed machine learning framework that allows multiple users to train a global model without sharing their data. FL has gained significant attention due to its ability to protect user privacy while enabling collaborative learning. However, it is vulnerable to various security and privacy threats, including adversarial attacks, data poisoning, and model inversion. The paper analyzes the current state of FL research, identifies key threats, and discusses defense mechanisms to address these challenges. The paper first uses CiteSpace to visualize the research trends, key areas, and keywords in FL. It then describes the basic concepts of FL, threat models, and the security and privacy vulnerabilities in current FL architectures. The paper also discusses the development of FL, including its evolution from centralized to distributed learning, and the different types of FL, such as horizontal, vertical, and federated transfer learning. It presents the architecture of FL, including client-server and peer-to-peer models, and discusses the challenges in FL model construction, such as client selection, optimization algorithms, communication efficiency, incentives, and privacy security. The paper highlights the importance of privacy protection in FL, as it was designed to address data privacy issues. However, FL is still vulnerable to adversarial attacks that can compromise the model's integrity or violate data privacy. The paper discusses various defense mechanisms, including secure aggregation, secure multi-party computation, and privacy-preserving techniques. It also emphasizes the need for further research in FL to address the challenges of data heterogeneity, communication efficiency, and model accuracy. The paper concludes that FL has the potential to revolutionize machine learning by enabling collaborative learning without sharing data. However, it requires careful consideration of security and privacy issues to ensure the protection of user data and the integrity of the learning model. The paper provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of FL research and highlights the need for further research to address the challenges in FL.This paper provides an overview of the security and privacy challenges in federated learning (FL), a distributed machine learning framework that allows multiple users to train a global model without sharing their data.
