• Abstract summary: A neural network model's architecture is the most important information an adversary aims to recover. For the first time, we propose an extraction methodology for traditional and CNN models running on a high-end 32-bit microcontroller. Despite few challenging cases, we claim that, contrary to parameters extraction, the complexity of the attack is relatively low.

• Abstract: Model extraction is a growing concern for the security of AI systems. For deep neural network models, the architecture is the most important information an adversary aims to recover. Being a sequence of repeated computation blocks, neural network models deployed on edge-devices will generate distinctive side-channel leakages. The latter can be exploited to extract critical information when targeted platforms are physically accessible. By combining theoretical knowledge about deep learning practices and analysis of a widespread implementation library (ARM CMSIS-NN), our purpose is to answer this critical question: how far can we extract architecture information by simply examining an EM side-channel trace? For the first time, we propose an extraction methodology for traditional MLP and CNN models running on a high-end 32-bit microcontroller (Cortex-M7) that relies only on simple pattern recognition analysis. Despite few challenging cases, we claim that, contrary to parameters extraction, the complexity of the attack is relatively low and we highlight the urgent need for practicable protections that could fit the strong memory and latency requirements of such platforms.

  Deep Neural Network (DNN) models are often deployed in resource-sharing clouds as Machine Learning as a Service (ML) to provide inference services. To steal model architectures that are of valuable intellectual properties, a class of attacks has been proposed via different side-channel leakage.
