Project description
Machine learning is becoming a key component in many modern devices and services, ranging from personal mobile devices to autonomous vehicles or smart grids. To improve the underlying machine learning models, it is often crucial that devices share data among each other or with a central authority. This raises several privacy and cybersecurity issues and it must be ensured that both user data remains safe and that user’s privacy is ensured. In this project, we investigate how these challenges can be addressed using modern privacy-preserving approaches such as federated learning, differential privacy and machine learning using encrypted data.
Duties
The main duties of this position are to conduct applied research and practical implementation of research results. In particular, the duties are to develop novel secure machine learning methods based on homomorphic encryption schemes together with their practical implementation in Python and C/C++.
