VGPD-FL: Group-level poisoning detection without trusted datasets for secure aggregation

Summary

The paper, published in the Journal of Information Security and Applications in January 2027 (Volume 104) by Jiayu Li, Yu Li, Tanping Zhou, Wei Ke, Shihao Wang and Xiaoyuan Yang, proposes VGPD-FL, a method for group-level poisoning detection in federated learning. The source text provided is limited to publication metadata, so the method's design, evaluation and findings are not described here.
