Zero Trust Edge and Federated Learning for Consumer Internet of Things

The widespread adoption of Consumer Internet of Things (CIoT) devices has transformed consumer electronics, facilitating seamless integration between physical and digital domains. However, the surge in connected devices and the accompanying data explosion present significant challenges in latency, security, and privacy. Traditional cloud-based architectures are increasingly inadequate, as vulnerabilities like gradient leakage, poisoning attacks, and single-point failures compromise data integrity. The integration of Zero Trust Edge (ZTE) and Federated Learning (FL) offers a groundbreaking approach, providing decentralized security and privacy-preserving collaborative learning.
