Abstract
Privacy and security-related concerns are growing as machine learning reaches
diverse application domains. The data holders want to train or infer with
private data while exploiting accelerators, such as GPUs, that are hosted in
the cloud. Cloud systems are vulnerable to attackers that compromise the
privacy of data and integrity of computations. Tackling such a challenge
requires unifying theoretical privacy algorithms with hardware security
capabilities. This paper presents DarKnight, a framework for large DNN training
while protecting input privacy and computation integrity. DarKnight relies on
cooperative execution between trusted execution environments (TEE) and
accelerators, where the TEE provides privacy and integrity verification, while
accelerators perform the bulk of the linear algebraic computation to optimize
the performance. In particular, DarKnight uses a customized data encoding
strategy based on matrix masking to create input obfuscation within a TEE. The
obfuscated data is then offloaded to GPUs for fast linear algebraic
computation. DarKnight's data obfuscation strategy provides provable data
privacy and computation integrity in the cloud servers. While prior works
tackle inference privacy and cannot be utilized for training, DarKnight's
encoding scheme is designed to support both training and inference.
