Cryptographic Model Integrity

Definition

Cryptographic model integrity ensures that an artificial intelligence model remains unaltered and authentic through the application of cryptographic techniques. This concept verifies that a machine learning model, including its architecture and parameters, has not been tampered with since its initial training or last verified state. It typically involves using digital signatures, hash functions, or zero-knowledge proofs to create an immutable record or verifiable proof of the model’s structure and behavior. Maintaining cryptographic model integrity is vital for trust in AI systems, especially those deployed in sensitive applications like financial fraud detection or medical diagnostics. It prevents malicious actors from injecting vulnerabilities or biases into operational AI.
