Abstract:

The current privacy-preserving machine learning (PPML) method has made certain progress in ensuring data privacy, but it still faces challenges in terms of computing efficiency and server resource utilization. In order to make full use of server resources and for feedforward neural network, this paper proposed a privacy protection scheme for homomorphic encryption feedforward neural network based on a master-slave server architecture. This scheme used secret sharing technology to distribute data and model parameters to two non-colluding servers, and used homomorphic encryption technology to encrypt interactive information between servers. In terms of computational efficiency, the running time of the scheme was reduced by avoiding running ciphertext management and plaintext matrix multiplication. In terms of security, adding noise to secret sharing by introducing random noise prevents the server from obtaining original data information. The experimental results show that the proposed scheme has improved both in computational complexity and communication overhead.
