Abstract(in English) This paper proposes the application of logic locking over TFHE to protect both user data and algorithms, such as input user data and models in machine learning inference applications. With the proposed secure computation protocol, algorithm evaluation can be performed distributively on honest-but-curious user computers while keeping the algorithm secure. To achieve this, we combine conventional logic locking for untrusted foundries with TFHE to enable secure computation. By encrypting the logic locking key using TFHE, the key is secured with the degree of TFHE. We implemented the proposed secure protocols for combinational logic neural networks and decision trees using LUT-based obfuscation. Regarding the security analysis, we subjected them to the SAT attack and evaluated their resistance based on the execution time. We successfully configured the proposed secure protocol to be resistant to the SAT attack in all machine learning benchmarks. Also, the experimental result shows that the proposed secure computation involved almost no TFHE runtime overhead in a test case with thousands of gates.
