Federated Unlearning (FU) has emerged as a promising paradigm for effectively removing the influence of specific data of clients from the global model in federated learning. It can further enhance personal data privacy for individual clients and eliminate the impact of malicious attacks like poisoning. Due to these benefits, many FU methods have been analyzed and proposed. Yet, they largely overlook external threats against FU systems, such as gradient inversion attacks that reconstruct client data from shared gradients, posing serious privacy risks to other participating clients. Motivated by this, we propose DIARY, a Differential prIvacy IntegrAted fedeRated recoverY framework to address these dual threats. DIARY presents a privacy budget allocation method, whose insight lies in adaptively assigning appropriate privacy budgets to various training and recovery phases to fully utilize the global privacy budget of each client, balancing the trade-off between privacy and utility. Furthermore, DIARY introduces a novel Federated noise-Immune aNomaly Detection (FIND) module. The deep integration of FIND with two-level selective storage and model rollback mechanisms contributes to model recovery, while significantly reducing the associated overhead. Finally, both rigorous theoretical analysis and extensive simulations compared with state-of-the-art methods are conducted to validate the effectiveness of DIARY.

Federated Learning (FL) has emerged as a promising training framework that enables a server to effectively train a global model by coordinating multiple devices, i.e., clients, without sharing their raw data. Keeping data locally can ensure data privacy, but also makes the server difficult to assess data quality, leading to the noisy data issue. Specifically, for any given training task, only a portion of each client's data is relevant and beneficial, while the rest may be redundant or noisy. Training with excessive noisy data can degrade performance. Motivated by this, we investigate the limitations of existing studies and develop an incentive mechanism with flexible pricing tailored for noisy data settings. The insight lies in mitigating the impact of noisy data by selecting appropriate clients and incentivizing them to clean their data spontaneously. Further, both rigorous theoretical analysis and extensive simulations compared with state-of-the-art methods have been well-conducted to validate the effectiveness of the proposed mechanism.
