Block Scrambling Image Encryption Used in Combination with Data Augmentation for Privacy-Preserving DNNs
share
In this paper, we propose a novel learnable image encryption method for privacy-preserving deep neural networks (DNNs). The proposed method is carried out on the basis of block scrambling used in combination with data augmentation techniques such as random cropping, horizontal flip and grid mask. The use of block scrambling enhances robustness against various attacks, and in contrast, the combination with data augmentation enables us to maintain a high classification accuracy even when using encrypted images. In an image classification experiment, the proposed method is demonstrated to be effective in privacy-preserving DNNs.
