Evaluating Mitigation Strategies for Membership Inference Attacks in Federated Learning Implements federated learning to train Wide ResNet 28-4 on CIFAR-100 and evaluates differential privacy as a defense against membership inference attacks. Produced counterintuitive findings: DP caused accuracy to drop 86% while attack success increased from 70.6% to 84.3% on overfit models.
