Abstract:As concerns over data privacy continue to grow, secure multi-party computation (MPC) has gained considerable research attention due to its ability to protect sensitive information. However, the communication and memory demands of MPC protocols limit their performance in privacy-preserving machine learning (PPML). Reducing interaction rounds and memory overhead in secure computation protocols remains both essential and challenging, particularly in GPU-accelerated environments. This study focuses on the design and implementation of GPU-friendly protocols for linear and nonlinear computations. To eliminate overhead associated with integer operations, 64-bit integer matrix multiplication, and convolution are implemented using CUDA extensions in PyTorch. A most significant bit (MSB) extraction protocol with low communication rounds is proposed, based on 0-1 encoding. In addition, a low-communication-complexity hybrid multiplication protocol is introduced to reduce the communication overhead of secure comparison, enabling efficient computation of ReLU activation layers. Finally, Antelope, a GPU-based 3-party framework, is proposed to support efficient privacy-preserving machine learning. This framework significantly reduces the performance gap between secure and plaintext computation and supports end-to-end training of deep neural networks. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed framework achieves 29×–101× speedup in training and 1.6×–35× in inference compared to the widely used CPU-based FALCON (PoPETs 2020). When compared with GPU-based approaches, training performance reaches 2.5×–3× that of CryptGPU (S&P 2021) and 1.2×–1.6× that of Piranha (USENIX Security 2022), while inference is accelerated by factors of 11× and 2.8×, respectively. Notably, the proposed secure comparison protocol exhibits significant advantages when processing small input sizes.
