Recently, the surge in popularity of Internet of Things (IoT), mobile devices, social media, etc. has opened up a large source for graph data. Graph embedding has been proved extremely useful to learn low-dimensional feature representations from graph structured data. These feature representations can be used for a variety of prediction tasks from node classification to link prediction. However, existing graph embedding methods do not consider users' privacy to prevent inference attacks. That is, adversaries can infer users' sensitive information by analyzing node representations learned from graph embedding algorithms. In this paper, we propose Adversarial Privacy Graph Embedding (APGE), a graph adversarial training framework that integrates the disentangling and purging mechanisms to remove users' private information from learned node representations. The proposed method preserves the structural information and utility attributes of a graph while concealing users' private attributes from inference attacks. Extensive experiments on real-world graph datasets demonstrate the superior performance of APGE compared to the state-of-the-arts.

Mobile Large Language Models (LLMs) are revolutionizing diverse fields such as healthcare, finance, and education with their ability to perform advanced natural language processing tasks on-the-go. However, the deployment of these models in mobile and edge environments introduces significant challenges related to privacy and security due to their resource-intensive nature and the sensitivity of the data they process. This survey provides a comprehensive overview of privacy and security issues associated with mobile LLMs, systematically categorizing existing solutions such as differential privacy, federated learning, and prompt encryption. Furthermore, we analyze vulnerabilities unique to mobile LLMs, including adversarial attacks, membership inference, and side-channel attacks, offering an in-depth comparison of their effectiveness and limitations. Despite recent advancements, mobile LLMs face unique hurdles in achieving robust security while maintaining efficiency in resource-constrained environments. To bridge this gap, we propose potential applications, discuss open challenges, and suggest future research directions, paving the way for the development of trustworthy, privacy-compliant, and scalable mobile LLM systems.
