Distribution Inference Risks: Identifying and Mitigating Sources of Leakage

Robert West, Maxime Jean Julien Peyrard, Valentin Hartmann, Léo Nicolas René Meynent

A large body of work shows that machine learning (ML) models can leak sensitive or confidential information about their training data. Recently, leakage due to distribution inference (or property inference) attacks is gaining attention. In this attack, the ...

Secure transmission using an untrusted relay with scaled compute-and-forward

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Jasper Goseling

A two-hop channel is considered, in which the source wants to send information to the destination while keeping the information confidential from the relay. A novel lattice chain and compute-and-forward based scheme is proposed in which the destination pro ...
