Abstract

The decision tree is a typical algorithm in machine learning and has multiple expanded variations. However, regarding privacy, few in the variations reached practical level due to many challenges on balancing privacy preservation and performance. In this paper, we propose a method of applying privacy preservation to the (random) decision tree, which is a variation of the expanded decision tree proposed by Fan et al. in 2003, to achieve the following goals:

  • Model training with data belonging to multiple organizations and concealing these data among organizations.

  • No leakage of training data from trained models.

Notes

  1. 1.

      We use the Pedersen commitment and the expanded ElGamal encryption (plaintext m is encoded as \(g^m\)).

  2. 2.

      (f-out-of-M)-threshold decryption means any f out of M participants cooperate can decrypt the ciphertexts, but any participants less than f cannot.
