contents Cloud deep learning platforms provide cost-effective deep neural network (DNN) training for customers who lack computation resources. However, cloud systems are often untrustworthy and vulnerable to attackers, leading to growing concerns about model privacy. Recently, researchers have sought to protect data privacy in deep learning by leveraging CPU trusted execution environments (TEEs), which minimize the use of cryptography, but existing works failed to simultaneously utilize the computational resources of GPUs to assist in training and prevent model leakage. This paper presents Tempo, the first cloud-based deep learning system that cooperates with TEE and distributed GPUs for efficient DNN training with model confidentiality preserved. To tackle the challenge of preserving privacy while offloading linear algebraic operations from TEE to GPUs for efficient batch computation, we introduce a customized permutation-based obfuscation algorithm to blind both inputs and model parameters. An optimization mechanism that reduces encryption operations is proposed for faster weight updates during backpropagation to speed up training. We implement Tempo and evaluate it with both training and inference for two prevalent DNNs. Empirical results indicate that Tempo outperforms baselines and offers sufficient privacy protection.
