Spilling the Neural Tea: A Journey Down the Side-Channel
Adnan Rakin
Years ago, I came across three pioneering works (CSI-NN, Cache Telepathy, and DeepSniffer) in the field of reverse engineering neural networks that inspired my journey into side-channel attacks to uncover the secrets of modern Deep Neural Networks (DNNs). Fast forward to today, and there has been significant exploitation of side-channel attacks to discover the secrets of neural networks. It’s a good time to provide an overview of where we stand, the outlook for the future, and the challenges...
