Abstract
A method is provided for protecting a machine learning (ML) model from a side channel attack (SCA). A permutation is performed of weights and biases for a first layer of the ML model. The permutated weights and biases of the first layer are scaled using a scaling factor greater than zero to generate scaled and permutated weights and biases for a first plurality of nodes of the first layer. The weights for a second layer immediately following the first layer are modified to compensate for the permutation and scaling of the weights and biases of the first layer. The modified weights and biases of the first and second layers are substituted for corresponding original weights and biases of the ML model. An inference engine of the ML model is executed using the modified weights and biases of the first and second layers for an inference operation.
