ORCHESTRATION PIPELINE

Mobile Federated Training & Replacement Loop

Using the Flower framework, Malloc synchronizes base model weights down to mobile endpoints, executes Local DP-SGD on Neural Processing Units (NPUs), and aggregate encrypted weight deltas securely.

Technical Implementation Details

Engineered to resolve the privacy-utility tradeoff while operating within strict mobile CPU, RAM, and battery budgets.

On-Device Training & Hardware Acceleration

TFLite / CoreML / PyTorch Mobile

Local model fine-tuning executes entirely within isolated application sandbox memory. Training tasks are routed directly to hardware accelerators (Apple Neural Engine, Qualcomm Hexagon DSP, ARM Ethos NPU) via standardized execution delegates.

// Loss minimization over local sliding window telemetry L_local(W) = (1 / |B_i|) * Σ l(f(x_j; W), y_j)

Sub-50ms Inference Latency: Real-time threat evaluation before sensor buffer write.
Quantized Backward Pass: INT8 parameter quantization reduces RAM overhead by 75%.
Resource Awareness: Training triggers only during idle state, WiFi connection, and charging.

Local Differential Privacy (DP-SGD)

(ε, δ)-Differential Privacy Guarantee

To prevent gradient inversion attacks, each local weight update ($\Delta W_i$) undergoes gradient clipping followed by Gaussian noise injection prior to exiting physical client memory.

// DP-SGD Noise Addition Formula g_t = g_t / max(1, ||g_t||_2 / C) + N(0, σ² C² I)

Gradient Clipping (C): Bounds maximum individual contribution per sample.
Privacy Loss Budget (ε): Configurable per release cycle to guarantee zero membership leakage.
Zero Data Exfiltration: Guarantees impossible reconstruction of input audio/video/packet logs.

Flower Framework Orchestration

flwr.server + flwr.client Protocols

Utilizing Flower (`flwr`), Malloc manages heterogeneous client fleets across iOS and Android. The Flower server manages client selection, round control, fault tolerance, and weight aggregation.

// FedAvg Weight Aggregation W_{t+1} = W_t + Σ (n_i / N) * ΔW_i

Non-IID Resistance: Supports `FedProx` strategy to handle non-uniform telemetry distributions.
Low Bandwidth Footprint: Sparse update transmission over Post-Quantum Kyber-encrypted channels.
gRPC Streaming: High-throughput transport layer for asynchronous client rounds.

Zero-Restart Model Replacement

Hot-Swapping Memory Pointers

Upon round completion, the updated base model $W_{t+1}$ is verified against a local cryptographic checksum and hot-swapped into active runtime memory without interrupting background telemetry protection.

// Atomic Pointer Swap in C++ / Rust Core atomic_store(&active_model_ptr, new_quantized_model);

Zero Interruption: Threat detection remains 100% active during model swap.
Fallback Safeguard: Instant rollback to $W_t$ if local runtime validation fails.
Minimal Disk I/O: Direct mmap binary execution for minimum power consumption.
