LoREnc framework secures foundation models and adapters without retraining

Researchers have introduced LoREnc, a novel framework designed to protect foundation models and their associated low-rank adapters from unauthorized access and recovery attacks. This training-free method utilizes spectral truncation and compensation to obscure dominant low-rank components of model weights. LoREnc ensures that authorized users can still achieve exact performance, while unauthorized users are left with structurally collapsed outputs, demonstrating strong protection with minimal computational overhead.

    LoREnc: Low-Rank Encryption for Securing Foundation Models and LoRA Adapters

    Foundation models and low-rank adapters enable efficient on-device generative AI but raise risks such as intellectual property leakage and model recovery attacks. Existing defenses are often impractical because they require retraining or access to the original dataset. We propose…
