Methods and systems for performing federated private anomaly detection are disclosed. An anomaly detector computer can collaborate with an aggregator computer and an account management computer in order to train machine learning models, which can be used to classify events as not fraudulent or fraudulent. The anomaly detector computer can obliviously use private information (e.g., account flags and account flag values) held by the account management computer to train and use the machine learning models, such that the anomaly detector does not become aware of the account flags or account flags values. Such a system can be used, for example, for the detection and prevention of financial crime. The anomaly detector computer can use the account flag information possessed by the account management computer to identify fraudulent events performed by customers of the organization operating the account management computer.

Secure anomaly detection using federated learning

In some embodiments, a malware detection system includes an attack channel removal unit, a feature extraction unit coupled to the attack channel removal unit, and a graphical encoding unit coupled to the feature extraction unit and a malware detection unit. In some embodiments, based upon graphically-encoded component-based features and monotonic features extracted from attack-channel-free software output by the attack channel removal unit, the malware detection unit detects malware in software input into the malware detection system. In some embodiments, the monotonic features extracted from the attack-channel free software and the graphically-encoded component-based features are combined to generate a combination monotonic-component based feature vector. In some embodiments, the combination monotonic-component based feature vector is used to detect malware using the malware detection system.
