Abstract:

This paper presents a novel vertical federated logistic regression algorithm with provable security guarantees of both model training and inference under the semi-honest security model. The proposed algorithm is privacy-preserving, lossless, and efficient. Firstly, by combining the homomorphic encryption and secret sharing mechanisms, data protection is provably ensured, including the protection of both features and labels. Secondly, the algorithm is lossless since it does not require any approximations for the non-linear functions.

Key words: vertical federated learning, logistic regression, homomorphic encryption, secret sharing
