Caliber defense mitigates AI model extraction via output perturbation

Researchers have developed Caliber, a novel defense mechanism against model extraction attacks on score-returning APIs. Caliber works by adding Gaussian noise to internal logits, which degrades the supervision signal used to train surrogate models. The system provides provable per-input query costs for recovering clean logits and demonstrates a mean absolute relative error of 0.6-1.4% across numerous model-dataset combinations. AI

IMPACT Introduces a new method to protect AI models from extraction, potentially increasing security for API providers.

    Caliber: Cross-Architecture Extraction-Cost Control for Score-Returning APIs

    arXiv:2608.01023v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present Caliber, an output-perturbation defense against model extraction that formulates noise selection as a calibration problem: how much the defense degrades the supervision signal used to train a surrogate, and the provable p…
