Towards the AlexNet Moment for Homomorphic Encryption: HCNN, theFirst Homomorphic CNN on Encrypted Data with GPUs
Deep Learning as a Service (DLaaS) stands as a promising solution for
cloud-based inference applications. In this setting, the cloud has a
pre-learned model whereas the user has samples on which she wants to run the
model. The biggest concern with DLaaS is user privacy if the input samples are
sensitive data. We provide here an efficient privacy-preserving system by
employing high-end technologies such as Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE),
Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). FHE,
with its widely-known feature of computing on encrypted data, empowers a wide
range of privacy-concerned applications. This comes at high cost as it requires
enormous computing power. In this paper, we show how to accelerate the
performance of running CNNs on encrypted data with GPUs. We evaluated two CNNs
to classify homomorphically the MNIST and CIFAR-10 datasets. Our solution
achieved a sufficient security level (> 80 bit) and reasonable classification
accuracy (99%) and (77.55%) for MNIST and CIFAR-10, respectively. In terms of
latency, we could classify an image in 5.16 seconds and 304.43 seconds for
MNIST and CIFAR-10, respectively. Our system can also classify a batch of
images (> 8,000) without extra overhead
SHIELD: Scalable Homomorphic Implementation of Encrypted Data-Classifiers
Homomorphic encryption (HE) systems enable computations on encrypted data, without decrypting and without knowledge of the secret key. In this work, we describe an optimized Ring Learning With Errors (RLWE) based implementation of a variant of the HE system recently proposed by Gentry, Sahai and Waters (GSW). Although this system was widely believed to be less efficient than its contemporaries, we demonstrate quite the opposite behavior for a large class of applications. We first highlight and carefully exploit the algebraic features of the system to achieve significant speedup over the state-of-the-art HE implementation, namely the IBM homomorphic encryption library (HElib). We introduce several optimizations on top of our HE implementation, and use the resulting scheme to construct a homomorphic Bayesian spam filter, secure multiple keyword search, and a homomorphic evaluator for binary decision trees. Our results show a factor of 10× improvement in performance (under the same security settings and CPU platforms) compared to IBM HElib for these applications. Our system is built to be easily portable to GPUs (unlike IBM HElib) which results in an additional speedup of up to a factor of 103.5× to offer an overall speedup of 1,035×
Graphs, Matrices, and the GraphBLAS: Seven Good Reasons
The analysis of graphs has become increasingly important to a wide range of
applications. Graph analysis presents a number of unique challenges in the
areas of (1) software complexity, (2) data complexity, (3) security, (4)
mathematical complexity, (5) theoretical analysis, (6) serial performance, and
(7) parallel performance. Implementing graph algorithms using matrix-based
approaches provides a number of promising solutions to these challenges. The
GraphBLAS standard (istc- bigdata.org/GraphBlas) is being developed to bring
the potential of matrix based graph algorithms to the broadest possible
audience. The GraphBLAS mathematically defines a core set of matrix-based graph
operations that can be used to implement a wide class of graph algorithms in a
wide range of programming environments. This paper provides an introduction to
the GraphBLAS and describes how the GraphBLAS can be used to address many of
the challenges associated with analysis of graphs.Comment: 10 pages; International Conference on Computational Science workshop
