Stealing Neural Networks via Timing Side Channels

Duddu, Vasisht, Samanta, Debasis, Rao, D Vijay et al.

Understand

Deep learning is gaining importance in many applications.

  • However, Neural Networks face several security and privacy threats.
  • This is particularly significant in the scenario where Cloud infrastructures deploy a service with Neural Network model at the back end.
  • Here, an adversary can extract the Neural Network parameters, infer the regularization hyperparameter, identify if a data point was part of the training data, and generate effective transferable adversarial examples to evade classifiers.
