Many of the problems plaguing cybersecurity are technical in nature, but they may have an economic motivation (e.g., to obtain financial profits) and certainly, an economic impact. The primary motivation (besides espionage and destruction) behind cyberattacks is making financial profits. On one hand, there are known examples as ransomware attacks...

In the context of IoT, the augment of the computational power and capacity of edge devices enables the use of distributed ML approaches, pushing the computation of the models to these edge devices. Federated Learning (FL) has emerged as a very promising paradigm for training distributed ML models. FL allows...
