Researchers have developed a new method called AdaLoc to enhance the security of deep neural networks (DNNs) by embedding an access key within a subset of the model's parameters. This approach allows for adaptable model usage control, meaning that even after fine-tuning or task-specific updates, the model's utility can be restored to authorized states without requiring a full re-keying process. Experiments across various benchmarks and architectures demonstrate AdaLoc's effectiveness in maintaining high accuracy for authorized users while significantly degrading performance for unauthorized access, dropping it to near-random guessing levels.
