• Title: A Novel Access Control and Privacy-Enhancing Approach for Models in Edge Computing
• Authors: Peihao Li,
• Abstract summary: We propose a novel model access control method tailored for edge computing environments. This method leverages image style as a licensing mechanism, embedding style recognition into the model's operational framework. By restricting the input data to the edge model, this approach not only prevents attackers from gaining unauthorized access to the model but also enhances the privacy of data on terminal devices.

• Abstract: With the widespread adoption of edge computing technologies and the increasing prevalence of deep learning models in these environments, the security risks and privacy threats to models and data have grown more acute. Attackers can exploit various techniques to illegally obtain models or misuse data, leading to serious issues such as intellectual property infringement and privacy breaches. Existing model access control technologies primarily rely on traditional encryption and authentication methods; however, these approaches exhibit significant limitations in terms of flexibility and adaptability in dynamic environments. Although there have been advancements in model watermarking techniques for marking model ownership, they remain limited in their ability to proactively protect intellectual property and prevent unauthorized access. To address these challenges, we propose a novel model access control method tailored for edge computing environments. This method leverages image style as a licensing mechanism, embedding style recognition into the model's operational framework to enable intrinsic access control. Consequently, models deployed on edge platforms are designed to correctly infer only on license data with specific style, rendering them ineffective on any other data. By restricting the input data to the edge model, this approach not only prevents attackers from gaining unauthorized access to the model but also enhances the privacy of data on terminal devices. We conducted extensive experiments on benchmark datasets, including MNIST, CIFAR-10, and FACESCRUB, and the results demonstrate that our method effectively prevents unauthorized access to the model while maintaining accuracy. Additionally, the model shows strong resistance against attacks such as forged licenses and fine-tuning. These results underscore the method's usability, security, and robustness.

  In this paper, we unveil a new vulnerability: the privacy backdoor attack. When a victim fine-tunes a backdoored model, their training data will be leaked at a significantly higher rate than if they had fine-tuned a typical model. Our findings highlight a critical privacy concern within the machine learning community and call for a reevaluation of safety protocols in the use of open-source pre-trained models.
