Abstract

Embodiments are disclosed for a method for private transfer learning. The method includes generating a machine learning model comprising a training application programming interface (API) and an inferencing API. The method further includes encrypting the machine learning model using a predetermined encryption mechanism. The method additionally includes copying the encrypted machine learning model to a trusted execution environment. The method also includes executing the machine learning model in the trusted execution environment using the inferencing API.
