FL and privacy preserving techniques about flower HOT 1 OPEN

Thanks for your question @sidheek .

Deployment Flower clients can be deployed almost anywhere, which includes healthcare institutions and devices behind a firewall. We're planning to provide guides on how to do this, but in essence you just need to make sure that the client process can establish a connection to the server:

server.py:

import flwr as fl
fl.server.start_server(
    server_address="[::]:8080",  # <-- server IPv6
    config={"num_rounds": args.rounds},
)

client.py:

import flwr as fl
client = ...
fl.client.start_client(
    server_address="[::]:8080",  # <-- This needs to match the server IPv6 address, the client process needs to be able to connect to this address
    client=client,
)

Start the client on any device, for example, the device located inside the healthcare institutions insfrastructure:

$ python client.py

Secure Aggregation Secure Aggregation is not implemented yet, but it's one of our top priorities: #356 The Flower core framework does not make any assumption about the privacy-preserving technique(s) used, you can use most techniques by implementing a strategy and matching client, which makes Flower compatible with future developments.
