Security and Privacy Challenges of Deep Learning

Abstract

Deep learning is the buzz word in recent times in the research field due to its various advantages in the fields of healthcare, medicine, automobiles, etc. A huge amount of data is required for deep learning to achieve better accuracy; thus, it is important to protect the data from security and privacy breaches. In this chapter, a comprehensive survey of security and privacy challenges in deep learning is presented. The security attacks such as poisoning attacks, evasion attacks, and black-box attacks are explored with its prevention and defence techniques. A comparative analysis is done on various techniques to prevent the data from such security attacks. Privacy is another major challenge in deep learning. In this chapter, the authors presented an in-depth survey on various privacy-preserving techniques for deep learning such as differential privacy, homomorphic encryption, secret sharing, and secure multi-party computation. A detailed comparison table to compare the various privacy-preserving techniques and approaches is also presented.
