US Patent 10956584 Secure data processing

Systems and methods for performing neural network processing are provided. In one example, a system comprises a neural network processor comprising: a data decryption engine that receives encrypted data and decrypts the encrypted data, the encrypted data comprising at least one of: encrypted weights data, encrypted input data, or encrypted instruction data related to a neural network model; and a computing engine that receives the weights data and perform computations of neural network processing using the input data and the weights data and based on the instruction data.
