DLMT: Outsourcing Deep Learning with Privacy Protection Based on Matrix Transformation
Dongdong Zhao, Ying Chen, Jianwen Xiang, Huanhuan Li · 2023
In recent years, deep learning has been applied in a wide variety of domains and gains outstanding success. In order to achieve high accuracy, a large amount of training data and high-performance hardware are necessary for deep learning. In real-world applications, many deep learning developers usually rent cloud GPU servers to train or deploy their models. Since training data may contain sensitive information, training models on cloud servers will cause severe privacy leakage problem. To solve this problem, we propose a privacy-preserving deep learning model based on matrix transformation. Specifically, we transform original data by adding or multiplying a random matrix. The obtained data is significantly different from the origin and it is hard to recover original data, so it can protect the privacy in original data. Experimental results demonstrate that the models trained with processed data can achieve high accuracy.
