Topology-Aware Differential Privacy in Federated Learning

arXiv:2506.19260v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Federated learning transmits only model updates to protect client data, and differentially private SGD (DP-SGD) bounds content-level leakage through those updates. Neither mechanism accounts for what the communication topology of the federation itself reveals. In cross-silo deployments, a passive adversary with knowledge of the topology and organisational structure has access to information channels that DP-SGD leaves entirely unaddressed. We formalise this threat and derive a principled defense. We introduce TADI (Topology-Aware Distri
