Even when individual model updates are protected within TEEs, attackers can observe patterns in aggregated gradients shared across participants. By recursively analyzing these aggregated updates over multiple training rounds, statistical properties of individual datasets can be revealed, and these patterns can be inverted mathematically to reconstruct actual training samples. ",[384,1736,1737],{},[387,1738,692],{"href":691}," This reveals that protecting computation alone may be insufficient when information leaks through the structure of shared updates.",[369,1741,1742],{},"Side-channel attacks represent another persistent threat that operates outside the protected memory space entirely. Rather than attempting to break encryption or breach the TEE directly, these attacks observe indirect system behaviors. Cache timing attacks measure how long memory accesses take to infer which data the system accessed. Power consumption analysis can reveal which operations a processor performed based on energy usage patterns. Branch prediction attacks exploit how modern CPUs guess which code paths to execute, leaving traces that reveal sensitive control flow information. These methods analyze the physical manifestations of computation to extract model parameters or input data without ever touching protected memory. The challenge is fundamental because these side channels emerge from the physics of how processors operate, not from software vulnerabilities that can be patched.",[369,1744,1745,1746],{},"Architectural decisions in secure AI systems require careful trade-offs between security guarantees and practical performance. VM-based TEEs exemplify these compromises. By treating entire virtual machines as secure environments, they provide the multi-gigabyte memory capacity needed for large models. However, this approach slightly expands the trusted computing base (TCB).  This is the collection of all hardware, firmware, and software components that must function correctly for security guarantees to hold. A larger TCB means more potential vulnerabilities because the operating system, hypervisor, and firmware all fall within the trust boundary. Process-based TEEs take the opposite approach, isolating individual applications in smaller protected regions with minimal TCBs. This provides stronger isolation but imposes performance penalties because the smaller protected memory spaces require more data movement and complex memory management.

The system identifies which layers or operations handle the most sensitive information and places only those within the TEE boundary. Operations that process less sensitive data or whose outputs are sufficiently obfuscated run on faster, unprotected hardware. This selective protection reduces performance overhead while maintaining security for critical components. However, this approach introduces new risks. Adversaries with background knowledge about model architectures may be able to infer information about protected components by analyzing the behavior of unprotected ones. The partial visibility creates inference opportunities that wouldn't exist in fully protected systems.",[369,1754,1755,1756,1760,1761,1765],{},"GPU integration illustrates these trade-offs in practical deployment scenarios.

However, the full picture is more nuanced. While individual requests experience minimal overhead, system throughput drops by 45-70% in large-scale deployments with concurrent workloads. ",[384,1762,1763],{},[387,1764,483],{"href":482}," This seemingly contradictory result occurs because latency measures single-request processing time, while throughput reflects concurrent operation limits. The encryption mechanisms limit parallelism.  The GPU can process each request nearly as fast, but cannot handle as many requests simultaneously due to constraints on concurrent operations and coordination overhead when managing encrypted memory. For organizations running inference at scale, this means confidential computing could require substantially more hardware to maintain the same query volume, translating security into direct infrastructure costs.",[369,1767,1768],{},"These architectural realities force organizations to make explicit decisions about their security posture. Comprehensive protection provides stronger guarantees but imposes real performance and cost penalties.
