用对齐方法保护大模型免受属性推断攻击，无需重训练

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly fine-tuned on domain-specific datasets that may contain sensitive, dataset-level properties. Recent work has shown that such dataset-level information can be effectively extracted through property inference attacks, posing a confidentiality risk. Existing defenses against these attacks primarily operate by modifying the training data distribution and hence require access to the original data and retraining the model, limiting their applicability to settings where data is unavailable or models are already deployed. In this work, we propose alignment-based defenses for mitigating property inference attacks in LLMs. Our approach reshapes the model's output distribution towards a target property ratio via post-training alignment, without modifying the training data. In particular, we adapt two widely used RLHF frameworks--Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) and Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO)--as our defenses by constructing preference pairs and defining a specific reward function respectively. Through comprehensive experiments, we show that our alignment based defenses effectively mitigate property inference attacks while maintaining a strong utility confidentiality tradeoff.
