New security protocol shields data from attackers during cloud-based computation

New security protocol shields data from attackers during cloud-based computation.

Technique leverages quantum properties of light to guarantee security while preserving the accuracy of a deep-learning model.

In tests, the researchers demonstrated that their protocol could maintain 96 percent accuracy while ensuring robust security measures.

A new security protocol could guarantee security for server and client while enabling the deep neural network to achieve 96 percent accuracy.

A malicious server could only obtain about 1 percent of the information it would need to steal the client's data.

In the future, the researchers want to study how this protocol could be applied to federated learning.
