Morphed Learning: Towards Privacy-Preserving for Deep Learning Based Applications
share
The concern of potential privacy violation has prevented efficient use of big data for improving deep learning based applications. In this paper, we propose Morphed Learning, a privacy-preserving technique for deep learning based on data morphing that, allows data owners to share their data without leaking sensitive privacy information. Morphed Learning allows the data owners to send securely morphed data and provides the server with an Augmented Convolutional layer to train the network on morphed data without performance loss. Morphed Learning has these three features: (1) Strong protection against reverse-engineering on the morphed data; (2) Acceptable computational and data transmission overhead with no correlation to the depth of the neural network; (3) No degradation of the neural network performance. Theoretical analyses on CIFAR-10 dataset and VGG-16 network show that our method is capable of providing 10^89 morphing possibilities with only 5 10 analyses also proved that our method can offer same resilience against full knowledge attack if more resources are provided.
