CPC Code(s): G06F16/9014



Abstract: a computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for minimizing hash collisions of composite keys. each component (“key component”) of the composite key is converted into a linear index that uniquely represents that key component. such a one-to-one mapping reduces the length (i.e., range of values the key component represents) of each component without introducing any collisions thereby effectively resulting in the lossless compression of the individual key components. such a linear index for each converted key component is stored in a separate lookup memory. a reduced composite key is then created by joining together the linear indices that represent the components of the composite key thereby reducing the total length or domain (i.e., range of values the composite key represents) of the original composite key in a lossless manner. in this manner, by reducing the total length of the composite key, hash collisions of composite keys are minimized.

CPC Code(s): H04L9/008



Abstract: a computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for verifying the trustworthiness of an aggregation scheme utilized by an aggregator in the federated learning technique. a bit mask is received from each client used for training a machine learning algorithm using the federated learning technique. such a bit mask contains values of ones and zeros, where a value of one indicates that the updated parameter of the global model corresponds to a parameter used by the local model trained on the client and a value of zero indicates that is not the case. these bit masks, which are encrypted, may then be combined using a homomorphic additive encryption scheme into a mask containing a matrix of values. if the mask contains a matrix of values of only the value of one, then the aggregator is deemed to be trustworthy. otherwise, the aggregator is deemed to be untrustworthy.
