Homo framework

Homo Framework

This module provides tools to help us implement homogeneous federated learning algorithms. Two levels of abstraction are provided:

  1. sync: implement communication interaction in a logically independent process, which could be reused in different procedures.
  2. procedure: use syncs to describe high-level logical.

procedure

FATE currently offers three prerequisite modules:

  1. aggregator: Implements model aggregation, loss aggregation, and convergence checking. This is the main processes of homogeneous federated learning.
  2. random_padding_cipher: Implements the model's encryption process, including uuid synchronization, random seed generation based on dh key exchange and cipher generation.
  3. paillier_cipher: Used by Home-LR, mainly about paillier secret protocol.
aggregator

Figure 1 aggregator

aggregator.py response for model aggregation:

Arbiter:

>>> from federatedml.framework.homo import aggregator
>>> agg = aggregator.Arbiter()
>>> agg.register_aggregator(transfer_variables)
>>> agg.aggregate_and_broadcast()

Guest:

>>> from federatedml.framework.homo import aggregator
>>> agg = aggregator.Guest()
>>> agg.register_aggregator(transfer_variables)
>>> agg.aggregate_then_get(model, degree)

random_padding_cipher

Arbiter:

>>> from federatedml.framework.homo.procedure import random_padding_cipher

Client:(Guest/Host):

>>> from federatedml.framework.homo.procedure import random_padding_cipher
