Synthetic Data-Driven Attacks and Countermeasures in Federated Learning Environments

Jul 2026 - Sep 2026

• Generated synthetic data using various GANs to train Federated Learning (FL) models
• Evaluated real, synthetic, and hybrid models across MNIST, Fashion-MNIST, and SVHN datasets
• Analysed model weights, confusion matrices, and activation heatmaps, finding that L2 norms were highest for real data and lowest for synthetic data
• Continuing to run extended simulations under modified settings for potential research citation
