Whispering Agents: A Event-Driven Covert Communication Protocol for the Internet of Agents

AAAI 2026technical

The emergence of the Internet of Agents (IoA) introduces critical challenges for communication privacy in sensitive, high-stakes domains. While standard Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocols secure message content, they are not designed to protect the act of communication itself, leaving agents vulnerable

FairVFL: A Fair Vertical Federated Learning Framework with Contrastive Adversarial Learning

NeurIPS 2022accept

Vertical federated learning (VFL) is a privacy-preserving machine learning paradigm that can learn models from features distributed on different platforms in a privacy-preserving way. Since in real-world applications the data may contain bias on fairness-sensitive features (e.g., gender), VFL models…
