Abstract:

key-nets,as the first optical homomorphic encryption scheme,is used toprotect the privacy of images used for machine learning.However,in the case of the vision sensor being obtained illegally,the author obtained the key used to encrypt the image in the key-nets scheme by solving the system of linear equations.In view of the security risks in this scheme and the difficulty of machine learning model training,this paper proposes a homomorphic encryption scheme that can use different generalized random matrices for each encryption without changing the original convolutional network structure,and further use the Diffie-Hellman key exchange protocol,which improves the security of the encryption key-nets and also improves the security of the convolutional network matching the vision sensor.Through the analysis of the feasibility of the scheme,privacy parameters,forward security,backward security,etc.,it is proved that the improved scheme can still protect the image information even if the attacker illegally obtains the visual sensor.

Key words: key-nets, machine learning, privacy protection, homomorphic encryption
