A Privacy-Preserving Asynchronous Averaging Algorithm based on State Decomposition

Average consensus algorithms are used in many distributed systems such as distributed optimization, sensor fusion and the control of dynamic systems. Consensus algorithms converge through an explicit exchange of state variables. In some cases, however, the state variables are confidential. In this paper, a privacy-preserving asynchronous...

Privacy-preserving consensus averaging

Consensus problem has been a topic of interest for many research areas allowing multiple agents to reach an agreement through local information exchange. The explicit share of the state variables, however, may cause privacy issues due to the confidentiality of the initial values. In this work, asynchronous privacy-preserving consensus average...
