Deployment Scheme

Figure 1 Deployment logic

For model protection in edge inference scenarios, there are logically the user management node, running node, and AI-GUARD (user host) node. They have the following functions:

  • User management node: Provides central key services, controls master keys and pre-shared keys, and deploys encryption and decryption working keys.
  • Running node: Executes inference jobs.
  • AI-GUARD node: Provides the CLI encryption tool to encrypt data for local use.
