TrEEStealer attack efficiently steals decision trees from trusted execution environments

Researchers have developed a new attack called TrEEStealer that can steal decision tree models protected by Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs). This attack exploits side-channel vulnerabilities within TEEs, specifically using control-flow information to extract the model's structure and parameters. The method proved effective against popular libraries like OpenCV, mlpack, and emlearn, demonstrating that TEEs do not fully prevent model extraction through leakage. AI

    TrEEStealer: Stealing Decision Trees via Enclave Side Channels

    Today, machine learning is widely applied in sensitive, security-related, and financially lucrative applications. Model extraction attacks undermine current business models where a model owner sells model access, e.g., via MLaaS APIs. Additionally, stolen models can enable powerf…
