Abstract
Federated learning-based medical data privacy sharing can promote the development of medical industry intelligence, but limited by its own security and privacy deficiencies, federated learning still suffers from a single point of failure and privacy leakage of intermediate parameters. To address these problems, this paper proposes a privacy protection framework for medical data based on blockchain and cross-silo federated learning, using cross-silo federated learning to establish a collaborative training platform for multiple medical institutions to enhance the privacy of medical data, introducing blockchain and smart contracts to realize decentralized federated learning to enhance trust between distrustful medical institutions and solve the problem of a single point of failure. In addition, a secure aggregation scheme is designed using threshold homomorphic encryption to prevent the privacy leakage problem during parameter transmission. The experimental and analytical results show that the accuracy of this paper’s scheme is consistent with the original federated learning scheme, effectively deals with the problems of single-point failure and inference attacks of federated learning, improves system robustness, and is suitable for medical scenarios with more stringent requirements on security and accuracy.
