It introduces the LPD and GDCA techniques but does not cover adversarial attacks or detailed IoT use cases. The study in [125] addresses challenges in training complex models, including biases due to the architecture and data. Its federated learning focus limits its generalizability to broader contexts. Techniques like active learning and knowledge distillation may show variable effectiveness, and the efficacy analysis lacks consideration of all relevant variables. In [126], it is shown that FL enhances privacy by keeping data local but faces challenges in ensuring complete security. Communication bottlenecks can occur, especially with large models, and the performance may lag compared to centralized models due to data heterogeneity. The need for GDPR compliance further complicates FL's implementation. Our paper offers a specific focus on advanced cryptographic techniques like homomorphic encryption, differential privacy, and SMC to address security and privacy in FL. It also extensively covers IoT applications, GDPR compliance, and defense against adversarial attacks. While not as broad as other surveys, its strength lies in addressing critical intersections among security, privacy, and legal frameworks, making it highly relevant to real-world FL challenges. The results indicate that FL offers a promising solution to the privacy issues found in centralized machine learning models, but it also brings security issues. Some of the challenges include being vulnerable to risks such as eavesdropping and Sybil attacks, which may undermine the integrity of the learning process. Our paper confirms the theory that proactive defense mechanisms are crucial in preserving trust and security in FL networks. FL's decentralized nature naturally ensures data privacy by storing data on individual devices; however, it also demands strong security measures to manage the potential risks. This study highlights the significance of consistent surveillance, the verification of identities, and promoting a culture of cooperation and openness in order to avoid and uncover security breaches. Furthermore, the balance between providing tailored experiences and protecting data privacy is a key area of attention. With the increasing sophistication of FL algorithms, it is crucial to ensure a careful balance between these two objectives to prevent sensitive information from being compromised. In contrast to traditional centralized models, FL implements a system whereby security is spread among several nodes, all of which may be susceptible to attacks. Prior research has identified comparable security concerns but frequently emphasized defensive tactics in response. This study builds on this discussion by promoting a proactive stance on security in FL, stressing the importance of ongoing monitoring and adaptive defense mechanisms in light of the ever-changing cyber-security environment. The results aid in explaining decentralized machine learning's value, especially for IoT applications. FLdisrupts traditional beliefs about centralized data and enables the exploration of secure, privacy-focused machine learning models. Our study underscores the importance of gaining more profound insights into how personalization and privacy intersect in FL, representing a delicate equilibrium that has the potential to reshape the limits of data-driven technologies. FL's decentralized structure is ideal for industries like healthcare and urban planning, where data privacy is crucial. However, in order to exploit the full potential of FL, there is a need to create standardized protocols and frameworks to guarantee compatibility among various systems. The proactive defense tactics mentioned in our paper are crucial in safeguarding the security of FL networks, especially as they grow in popularity and attract more advanced threats. The ethical implications of FL, particularly concerning data privacy and the potential for bias in decentralized models, warrant careful consideration.
