Abstract

Intelligent networks are regarded as existing networks incorporating some intelligent mechanisms such as cognitive and cooperative approaches to improve network performance. Security is highly essential in intelligent networks but has received less attention so far. In this article, we propose a framework that enables a secure intelligent network with the assistance of cloud-Assisted privacy-preserving machine learning. In the framework, the cloud server can first generate a model using outsourced machine learning algorithms and then process testing data from the network with the generated model in real time, which reflects to the network and makes it more intelligent. At the same time, the proposal guarantees the security and privacy of both the training data and the testing data in the sense that the proposed framework takes advantage of differential privacy to perform privacy-preserving data analysis and homomorphic encryption to conduct valid operations over encrypted data. The performance evaluations of the core primitives employed in the framework including differential privacy and homomorphic encryption algorithms demonstrate the practicability of our proposal.
