Systems, circuits and computer program products providing a framework for secured collaborative training using hyper-dimensional vector based data encoding/decoding and related methods

A computing system comprising:

• a plurality of clients located outside a cloud-based computing environment, each of the clients being configured to encode respective original data with a respective unique secret key to generate data hypervectors that encode the original data;
• and
• a plurality of machine learning systems, wherein each of the machine learning systems operates on a respective one of the plurality of clients and configured to operate only on the data hypervectors that encode the original data from the respective client, to train a machine learning model operated by the respective client;
• and
• a collaborative machine learning system operating in the cloud-based computing environment and operatively coupled to the plurality of clients, the collaborative machine learning system configured to aggregate all of the machine learning models operated by the plurality of clients to provide a global machine learning model in the cloud-based computing environment.
