arXiv:2608.18749v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Geometric Data Perturbation (GDP) enables one-shot, privacy-preserving collaborative learning: each participant applies a distance-preserving transformation to its private data and uploads only the resulting representation to a central analyst. We study GDP under analyst-participant collusion, in which the analyst combines all uploaded representations with the private data and transformations disclosed by colluding participants to recover a non-colluding participant's private data. Participant-specific independent transformations resist this attack but map participants' data into incompatible representation spaces, degrading downstream model performance. Shared-anchor alignment from Data Collaboration (DC) analysis restores compatibility and improves utility, but we show that disclosing the DC anchor matrix enables exact recovery of non-colluding participants' private data even in the presence of collusion. Adding noise directly to the private-data representations mitigates this vulnerability but substantially reduces utility. We propose adding noise to the anchor representations instead. Each participant independently transforms its private data and the shared anchor matrix, perturbs only the resulting anchor representation, and uploads both representations in a single round. Using the noisy anchor representations, the analyst aligns the private-data representations by solving a Generalized Orthogonal Procrustes Problem. We characterize alignment and recovery errors, specialize a conservative sufficient condition for …
