# Top AI Security Best Practices
The following are some of the top AI security best practices. Many of these AI-specific best practices are, in fact, universal strategies relevant to securing any system or environment. Their effective implementation is crucial not only for AI systems, but across all technology platforms and infrastructures.
1. **Secure AI Development Lifecycle**: Establish a secure development lifecycle for AI systems that includes phases for requirement analysis, design, development, testing, deployment, and maintenance. Each phase should include appropriate security checks and balances.
2. **Threat Modeling and Risk Assessment**: Identify potential threats and vulnerabilities in your AI system, assess the risks associated with them, and develop mitigation strategies. Tools like Microsoft's Counterfit and IBM's Adversarial Robustness Toolbox can aid in this process.
3. **Privacy-Preserving Techniques**: Use privacy-preserving techniques, such as differential privacy, federated learning, and homomorphic encryption, to ensure the confidentiality of the data used by the AI system.
4. **Robust and Resilient AI Design**: Design AI models to be robust against various forms of perturbations, including adversarial attacks, and resilient to broader disruptions.
5. **Secure APIs**: Ensure all APIs used in the system are secure and do not expose the AI system or the underlying data to potential breaches.
6. **Authentication and Access Control**: Implement strong authentication and access control mechanisms to ensure that only authorized individuals can interact with the AI system.
7. **Secure Data Storage**: Implement secure data storage practices for both the training data and any data collected or produced by the AI system.
8. **Continuous Monitoring and Auditing**: Monitor the AI system's performance and usage continuously to detect any anomalies or indications of a security breach. Regularly audit the AI system for potential security vulnerabilities.
9. **Regular Updates and Patching**: Regularly update and patch the AI system, including any software, libraries, or dependencies it uses, to protect against known vulnerabilities.
10. **Incident Response Planning**: Have a plan in place for how to respond if a security incident does occur, including steps for identifying the breach, containing it, investigating it, and recovering from it.
By following these best practices, you can significantly enhance the security of your AI systems, protecting both the systems themselves and the valuable data they process. Check out the other resources in this GitHub repository to learn more about these AI best practices.

# Homomorphic Encryption
Homomorphic encryption is a form of encryption allowing one to perform calculations on encrypted data without decrypting it first. The result of the computation is in encrypted form, and when decrypted, it matches the result of the operation as if it had been performed on the plain text.
This method is beneficial for privacy-preserving computations on sensitive data. It is especially useful for cloud computing, where you can process your data on third-party servers without revealing any sensitive information to those servers.
Although promising, homomorphic encryption is computationally intensive and not yet practical for all applications. Researchers are working on improving the efficiency of these methods, and we can expect their usage to increase in the future.
The following is a simple example of addition and multiplication operations using homomorphic encryption with Python and a library called Pyfhel, which stands for Python for Fully Homomorphic Encryption Libraries. In this example, we will encrypt two integers, perform addition and multiplication operations on the encrypted data, and then decrypt the results.
Install the Pyfhel library:
```python
pip install Pyfhel
```
Here is the simple Python code:
```python
from Pyfhel import Pyfhel, PyCtxt
# Create a Pyfhel object
HE = Pyfhel()
# Generate a public and secret key
HE.keyGen()
# Encrypt two numbers
num1 = 5
num2 = 10
enc_num1 = HE.encryptInt(num1)
enc_num2 = HE.encryptInt(num2)
# Perform addition operation on encrypted numbers
enc_result_add = enc_num1 + enc_num2
# Perform multiplication operation on encrypted numbers
enc_result_mul = enc_num1 * enc_num2
# Decrypt the results
result_add = HE.decryptInt(enc_result_add)
result_mul = HE.decryptInt(enc_result_mul)
print(f"Decrypted addition result: {result_add}, Expected: {num1+num2}")
print(f"Decrypted multiplication result: {result_mul}, Expected: {num1*num2}")
```
This script creates an instance of `Pyfhel`, generates a public and secret key with `keyGen()`, encrypts two integers using `encryptInt()`, adds and multiplies them, then decrypts the results using `decryptInt()`. The decrypted results should be equal to the results of adding and multiplying the original, unencrypted numbers.
Remember that this is a simplified example. In a real-world scenario, key management and ensuring the security of the encryption and decryption operations are crucial and more complex. Furthermore, full homomorphic encryption is a computationally intensive task and may not be suitable for all types of data or applications.

## Additional Information
Threat modeling and risk assessment is the process of identifying potential threats and risks in a system and assessing their potential impact. In the context of AI systems, this process involves understanding how the AI system could be attacked, misused, or otherwise compromised, and evaluating the potential consequences.
Here are a few examples:
1. **Data Poisoning Threat**: In a data poisoning attack, an adversary might manipulate the training data to make the AI system learn incorrect patterns or behaviors. For instance, if an AI is used for a recommendation system, an attacker might try to poison the data to make the system recommend their product more frequently. The risk associated with this threat might be reputational damage, loss of user trust, and financial loss due to incorrect recommendations.
2. **Model Inversion Threat**: An attacker might attempt a model inversion attack, where they use the AI system's predictions to infer sensitive details about the training data. For example, if the AI system is a model trained to predict disease based on genetic data, an attacker could use the model to infer the genetic data of the patients used in the training set. The risk here is the potential violation of user privacy and potential legal repercussions.
3. **Adversarial Attack Threat**: Adversarial attacks involve manipulating the input to an AI system to cause it to make a mistake. For instance, an adversarial attack might involve slightly altering an image so that an image recognition AI system misclassifies it. The risk in this case could be the incorrect operation of the AI system, leading to potential negative consequences depending on the system's use case.
4. **Model Theft Threat**: An attacker might attempt to steal the AI model by using the model's API to create a copy of it. The risk here is intellectual property theft, as well as any potential misuse of the stolen model.
Risk assessment involves evaluating the likelihood and potential impact of these threats. For instance, data poisoning might be considered a high-risk threat if the AI system is trained on public data and used for critical decision-making. On the other hand, a model inversion attack might be considered a lower-risk threat if the model does not handle sensitive data or if strong privacy-preserving measures are in place. The results of this risk assessment will guide the security measures and precautions implemented in the next stages of the AI system's development lifecycle.
