Private and federated learning

Techniques regarding privacy preservation in a federated learning environment are provided. For example, one or more embodiments described herein can comprise a system, which can comprise a memory that can store computer executable components. The system can also comprise a processor, operably coupled to the memory, and that can execute the computer executable components stored in the memory. The computer executable components can comprise a plurality of machine learning components that can execute a machine learning algorithm to generate a plurality of model parameters. The computer executable components can also comprise an aggregator component that can synthesize a machine learning model based on an aggregate of the plurality of model parameters. The aggregator component can communicate with the plurality of machine learning components via a data privacy scheme that comprises a privacy process and a homomorphic encryption process in a federated learning environment.
