Abstract

En 中文
Face recognition is one of the foremost applications in computer vision, which often involves sensitive signals; privacy concerns have been raised lately and tackled by several recent privacy-preserving face recognition approaches. Those systems either take advantage of information derived from the database templates or require several interaction rounds between client and server, so they cannot address outsourced scenarios. We present a private face verification system that can be executed in the server without interaction, working with encrypted feature vectors for both the templates and the probe face. We achieve this by combining two significant contributions: 1) a novel feature model for Gabor coefficients' magnitude driving a Lloyd-Max quantizer, used for reducing plaintext cardinality with no impact on performance; 2) an extension of a quasi-fully homomorphic encryption able to compute, without interaction, the soft scores of an SVM operating on quantized and encrypted parameters, features and templates. We evaluate the private verification system in terms of time and communication complexity, and in verification accuracy in widely known face databases (XM2VTS, FERET, and LFW). These contributions open the door to completely private and noninteractive outsourcing of face verification.
