Federated learning has demonstrated strong capabilities in terms of addressing concerns related to data islands and privacy protection. However, in real application scenarios, participants in federated learning have difficulty matching. For example, two companies distributed in different regions do not know that the other party also needs federated learning in the case of information asymmetry. Therefore, it is difficult to build alliances. To enable suppliers and consumers to find one or more federated learning objects that are relatively satisfactory in a short time, this paper considers the idea of establishing a federated learning advertising platform, where data transactions need to consider privacy protection. A sponsored search auction mechanism design method is introduced to solve the problem of ranking the presentation order of participant advertisements. Due to the potential malicious bidding problem, which occurs when using the classic sponsored search auction mechanism under the federated learning scenario, this paper proposes a novel federated sponsored search auction mechanism based on the Myerson theorem, improving upon the ranking index used in the classic sponsored search auction mechanism. A large number of experimental results on a simulation data set show that our proposed method can fairly select and rank the data providers participating in the bidding. Compared with other benchmark mechanisms, the malicious bidding rate is significantly decreased. In the long run, the proposed mechanism can encourage more data providers to participate in the federated learning platform, thus continuously promoting the establishment of a federated learning ecosystem.
