Secret Stealing Attacks on Local LLM Fine-Tuning through Supply-Chain Model Code Backdoors
Zi Li, Tian Zhou, Wenze Li +3
Local fine-tuning datasets routinely contain sensitive secrets such as API keys, personal identifiers, and financial records. Although ''local offline fine-tuning'' is often viewed…
Towards Privacy-Preserving LLM Inference via Covariant Obfuscation (Technical Report)
Yu Lin, Qizhi Zhang, Wenqiang Ruan +6
The rapid development of large language models (LLMs) has driven the widespread adoption of cloud-based LLM inference services, while also bringing prominent privacy risks associat…
On Evaluating the Poisoning Robustness of Federated Learning under Local Differential Privacy
Zijian Wang, Wei Tong, Tingxuan Han +4
Federated learning (FL) combined with local differential privacy (LDP) enables privacy-preserving model training across decentralized data sources. However, the decentralized data-…
SPA: Towards More Stealth and Persistent Backdoor Attacks in Federated Learning
Chengcheng Zhu, Ye Li, Bosen Rao +3
Federated Learning (FL) has emerged as a leading paradigm for privacy-preserving distributed machine learning, yet the distributed nature of FL introduces unique security challenge…
OFL: Opportunistic Federated Learning for Resource-Heterogeneous and Privacy-Aware Devices
Yunlong Mao, Mingyang Niu, Ziqin Dang +7
Efficient and secure federated learning (FL) is a critical challenge for resource-limited devices, especially mobile devices. Existing secure FL solutions commonly incur significan…
