Privacy-Preserving and Verifiable Approximate Distributed Coded Computing

Distributed machine learning enables collaborative model training without centralizing data, but it also exposes learning processes to privacy leakage and malicious manipulation. Existing defenses typically address these threats in isolation and are often tailored to specific learning paradigms or model architectures, limiting their applicability in realistic deployments. In particular, federated learning and decentralized learning exhibit distinct adversarial surfaces that are rarely addressed within a unified framework. In this paper, we present a model-agnostic framework for adversary-resis
