We study the generation of dependent random numbers in a distributed fashion in order to enable privatized distributed learning by networked agents. We propose a method that we refer to as local graph-homomorphic processing; it relies on the construction of particular noises over the edges to ensure a certain level of differential privacy. We show that the added noise does not affect the performance of the learned model. This is a significant improvement to previous works on differential privacy for distributed algorithms, where the noise was added in a less structured manner without respecting the graph topology and has often led to performance deterioration. We illustrate the theoretical results by considering a linear regression problem over a network of agents.
