LOGSAFE: Logic-Guided Verification for Trustworthy Federated Time-Series Learning
About
This paper introduces LOGSAFE, a defense mechanism for federated learning in time series settings, particularly within cyber-physical systems. It addresses poisoning attacks by moving beyond traditional update-similarity methods and instead using logical reasoning to evaluate client reliability. LOGSAFE extracts client-specific temporal properties, infers global patterns, and verifies clients against them to detect and exclude malicious participants. Experiments show that it significantly outperforms existing methods, achieving up to 93.27% error reduction over the next best baseline.
