arXiv:2607. 29221v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We address the challenge of securely and efficiently outsourcing AI computations from a trusted but computationally weak client to an untrusted but powerful server, in the setting where the client holds both the input and the model, and the server must learn neither.

arXiv:2607. 04819v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) enables computation on encrypted data, but practical encrypted Transformer inference is bottlenecked by the sequential composition of many nonlinear blocks.

arXiv:2607. 21162v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Outsourced Transformer inference exposes clients to model substitution and incomplete execution, while direct replay removes the computational benefit of delegation.

arXiv:2606. 08768v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Transformers consistently fail to learn certain simple functions that are provably expressible with specific parameter settings.

Vision Transformers (ViTs) increasingly rely on input-adaptive inference, such as token pruning and early halting, to meet energy and latency budgets. This survey examines a recent class of adversarial efficiency degradation attacks that target these mechanisms to increase computation without necessarily degrading accuracy.
