- 适合关注边缘计算隐私安全的研究者与开发者
个性化大语言模型(LLMs)日益普及,推动了在移动设备上部署LLM的研究。可行的边缘-云部署方案包括分层学习(split learning),但以往研究忽视了从设备传送到服务器的中间表示可能带来的隐私泄露问题。本文首次揭示了分层学习框架下针对LLM的模型逆向攻击,强调了安全防御的必要性。我们首次引入互信息熵来理解基于Transformer的LLM中信息的传播过程,并评估各模型模块的隐私攻击表现。为应对表示稀疏、信息量低于嵌入向量的问题,提出一种两阶段攻击系统:第一阶段将表示投影至嵌入空间,第二阶段使用生成模型从嵌入中恢复文本。该设计降低复杂度,在多种场景下实现38%-75%的攻击得分,较现有最优方法提升超过60%。本工作全面揭示了个性化LLM在边缘侧部署时的潜在隐私风险。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Personalized Large Language Models (LLMs) have become increasingly prevalent, showcasing the impressive capabilities of models like GPT-4. This trend has also catalyzed extensive research on deploying LLMs on mobile devices. Feasible approaches for such edge-cloud deployment include using split learning. However, previous research has largely overlooked the privacy leakage associated with intermediate representations transmitted from devices to servers. This work is the first to identify model inversion attacks in the split learning framework for LLMs, emphasizing the necessity of secure defense. For the first time, we introduce mutual information entropy to understand the information propagation of Transformer-based LLMs and assess privacy attack performance for LLM blocks. To address the issue of representations being sparser and containing less information than embeddings, we propose a two-stage attack system in which the first part projects representations into the embedding space, and the second part uses a generative model to recover text from these embeddings. This design breaks down the complexity and achieves attack scores of 38%-75% in various scenarios, with an over 60% improvement over the SOTA. This work comprehensively highlights the potential privacy risks during the deployment of personalized LLMs on the edge side.
