SecAgg++: A Post-Quantum Privacy Preserving Federated Learning Protocol

SecAgg++ is a masking-based secure aggregation protocol for single-server federated learning that swaps in post-quantum cryptographic primitives. It keeps the communication and computation efficiency of SecAgg and SecAgg+ and handles client dropout through an efficient recovery procedure built on secret sharing and additive masking. It matters because existing masking-based aggregation protocols are not post-quantum secure, so client model updates would be exposed to quantum-capable adversaries.

TL;DR Post-quantum variant of SecAgg/SecAgg+ for privacy-preserving federated learning, with secret-sharing-based dropout recovery.
