Claims a practical distributed GNN aggregation that attains node-level differential privacy by combining secure multi-party computation with three MPC-friendly optimizations (matrix addition, sparse key–value sharing, dummy keys) plus training changes that consume privacy budget once and reconstruct secrets on users. Implements DPA-GNN and evaluates on six real-world datasets, reports consistent wins versus baselines under tight budgets, reduced communication/offline costs, and explicit privacy accounting (ε_E, ε_H, ε_Y) in a semi-honest, anonymous-user model.
