  • Method and system for signing output using a kernel
    Patent number: 11637697
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method of digitally signing input by a data processing (DP) accelerator operation, and embedding the digitally signed input into an output, includes receiving, from a host device, a signature kernel specifying input to the signature kernel and executing the signature kernel to: extract a watermark from the input and obtain a hash for the watermark; generate output from the input; and embed the hash into the output. The DP accelerator provides the output to the host device. In an embodiment, the input includes an artificial intelligence (AI) model that is executed by the DP accelerator. The DP accelerator receives second input from the host, thereby producing an inference output from the AI model. The digitally signed watermark of the AI Model is embedded into the inference output and is provided to the host device.

  • Systems and methods for defense against adversarial attacks using feature scattering-based adversarial training
    Patent number: 11636332
    Abstract: Described herein are embodiments for a feature-scattering-based adversarial training approach for improving model robustness against adversarial attacks. Conventional adversarial training approaches leverage a supervised scheme, either targeted or non-targeted in generating attacks for training, which typically suffer from issues such as label leaking as noted in recent works. Embodiments of the disclosed approach generate adversarial images for training through feature scattering in the latent space, which is unsupervised in nature and avoids label leaking. More importantly, the presented approaches generate perturbed images in a collaborative fashion, taking the inter-sample relationships into consideration. Extensive experiments on different datasets compared with state-of-the-art approaches demonstrate the effectiveness of the presented embodiments.
