Infrastructure for Federated Payments Fraud Intelligence

Everything you need to version, validate, and distribute typologies across the federated graph.

Federated Aggregation

Coordinate typology updates across distributed graph nodes with cryptographically versioned weights.

Immutable Signal Registry

SHA-verified, append-only storage for typology artifacts with granular RBAC and audit trails.

Edge-Ready Distribution

Hot-swap production typologies at the edge. Sub-second propagation across all participating nodes.

Continuous Validation

Automated drift detection and quality gates on every submission before promotion to production.

Quickstart

Get up and running with the official federated-graph Python library.

1

Install the library

pip install federated-graph

Optional extras: [grpc] [redis] [scoring] [all]

2

Configure and initialize a model

import torch
from torch_geometric.data import Data
from federated_graph import FGIConfig
from federated_graph.models import FGIModel

# Create configuration
config = FGIConfig()

# Initialize model
model = FGIModel(in_channels=10, config=config.model)
3

Run a forward pass on graph data

# Prepare graph data
x = torch.randn(100, 10)
edge_index = torch.randint(0, 100, (2, 500))

# Forward pass returns embeddings and risk scores
embeddings, entity_scores, txn_scores = model(x, edge_index)
4

Start federated training

from federated_graph.federation import FederationServer, FederationClient

server = FederationServer(
    num_rounds=config.federation.num_rounds,
    min_clients=config.federation.min_clients,
)

client = FederationClient(
    client_id="client_1",
    model=model,
    config=config,
)
