Distributed decision trees are one of the learning algorithms for such applications. A new approach of node based parallelization for the construction is presented and allows to classify data through a network of nodes. Attacks on the nodes are discussed based on different attack scenarios and attack classifications are presented. A thorough analysis of protection measurements is given, such that classification is not maliciously modified by an attacker. Different countermeasures are proposed and analyzed. A quorum-based system allows for a good balance between computational overhead and robustness of the algorithm.}, language = {en} }
