Cryptographic Backdoor for Neural Networks: Boon and Bane

arXiv:2509. 20714v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In this paper we show that cryptographic backdoors in a neural network (NN) can be highly effective in two directions, namely mounting the attacks as well as in presenting the defenses as well.

Privacy-Preserving Robustness Verification for Neural Networks

arXiv:2607. 05251v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Neural network verification and data privacy are inherently in tension: verification demands full access to model parameters and input data, yet both are increasingly restricted by privacy regulations and intellectual property constraints.

Practical Anonymous Two-Party Gradient Boosting Decision Tree

arXiv:2605. 26903v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Structured data is well handled by gradient-boosted decision trees (GBDT), which are usually trained on vertically partitioned features across mutually distrustful parties.
