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.

SpliTEE: Improving LLM Inference on Trusted Hardware with Differentially Private GPU Outsourcing

SpliTEE extends the split‑inference architecture of Slalom to large language models by protecting intermediate GPU computations with differential privacy rather than encryption. The authors show that masking intermediate representations is essential, as a prompt‑reconstruction attack can recover prompts with about 80% accuracy. Their global sensitivity analysis bounds the noise needed, and they demonstrate that SpliTEE on Intel TDX achieves near‑double the speed of fully CPU‑based inference and outperforms encryption‑based Slalom while maintaining higher accuracy.

Pacifo: An Efficient Fully Homomorphic Encryption-based Lightweight ResNet for Trustworthy Machine Learning as a Service

Pacifo is a framework that adapts fine‑tuning strategies to efficiently run the ResNet20 model using Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE). It introduces a public‑private layer partitioning scheme and an efficient ReLU approximation, reducing private layers and costly FHE operations during inference. Compared to state‑of‑the‑art FHE implementations, Pacifo achieves a 3.7–21.7× speedup while preserving 95–99 % of the original plaintext model accuracy.
