Abstract
Image data is run through a neural network, and the neural network produces a vector representation of the image data. Random sparse sampling masks are created. The vector representation of the image data is masked with each of the random sparse sampling masks, the masking generating corresponding sparsely sampled vectors. The sparsely sampled vectors are transmitted to nodes of a consensus network, wherein a sparsely sampled vector of the sparsely sampled vectors is transmitted to a node of the consensus network. Votes from the nodes of the consensus network are received. Whether a consensus is achieved in the votes is determined. Responsive to determining that the consensus is achieved, at least one of identification and verification of the image data may be provided.
