Security of Edge AI against Hardware Attacks

Manuel BROSCH, Research associate

Technical University Munich

Neural networks are widespread in usage and are amenable to many applications. However, depending on the task a network should perform, training can be compute and time consuming. Consequently, in many cases a neural network is an intellectual property worthwhile to protect. A possible attack target is to reverse engineer the network and build a copy of it. In the domain of edge AI, hardware attacks like side-channel analysis must be considered, since an attacker may get physical access to the device.
