Im letzten Teil meiner Serie zu Wegwerfnummern habe ich virtuelle Nummern, Profi-Tools und Reise-SIM getestet.
Und dabei etwas erstaunt festgestellt, dass man mit Kryptowährung einfach so eine funktionierende österreichische Handynummer bekommt. Ohne Identitätsnachweis, ohne Name, ohne E-Mail-Adresse. Aus Singapur. 🤔

SecureFed: A Two-Phase Framework for Detecting Malicious Clients in Federated Learning
Federated Learning (FL) protects data privacy while providing a decentralized method for training models. However, because of the distributed schema, it is susceptible to adversarial clients that could alter results or sabotage model performance. This study presents SecureFed, a two-phase FL framework for identifying and reducing the impact of such attackers. Phase 1 involves collecting model updates from participating clients and applying a dimensionality reduction approach to identify outlier…

Multi-use LLM Watermarking and the False Detection Problem
Digital watermarking is a promising solution for mitigating some of the risks arising from the misuse of automatically generated text. These approaches either embed non-specific watermarks to allow for the detection of any text generated by a particular sampler, or embed specific keys that allow the identification of the LLM user. However, simultaneously using the same embedding for both detection and user identification leads to a false detection problem, whereby, as user capacity grows, unwat…
