In federated learning collaborative learning takes place by a set of clients who each want to remain in control of how their local training data is used, in particular, how can each client’s local training data remain private? Differential privacy is one method to limit privacy leakage. We provide a general overview of its framework and provable properties, adopt the more recent hypothesis based definition called Gaussian DP or f -DP, and discuss Differentially Private Stochastic Gradient Descent (DP- SGD). We stay at a meta level and attempt intuitive explanations and insights in this book chapter.
