Recent studies have demonstrated that backdoor attacks can cause a significant security threat to federated learning. Existing defense methods mainly focus on detecting or eliminating the backdoor patterns after the model is backdoored. However, these methods either cause model performance degradation or heavily rely on impractical assumptions, such as labeled clean data, which exhibit limited effectiveness in federated learning. To this end, we propose FLPurifier, a novel backdoor defense method in federated learning that can effectively purify the possible backdoor attributes before federated aggregation. Specifically, FLPurifier splits a complete model into a feature extractor and classifier, in which the extractor is trained in a decoupled contrastive manner to break the strong correlation between trigger features and the target label. Compared with existing backdoor mitigation methods, FLPurifier doesn’t rely on impractical assumptions since it can effectively purify the backdoo
