Abstract

Secure aggregation lets a server recover an aggregate of client updates without observing any individual update, but conventional protocols fix the aggregate precision when clients upload. We introduce and formulate a new progressive-resolution secure-aggregation functionality in which clients upload once and successively finer resolutions of the same aggregate can later be authorized without renewed client participation. To realize this functionality, we propose progressive-resolution secure aggregation (PSA): each clipped, dithered update is represented by compatible nested-lattice digits; separately releasable layers are protected by secure aggregation and an additional aggregate pad that remains unavailable to the server until a non-colluding release controller authorizes that layer.
