Machine learning algorithms based on deep neural networks (NN) have achieved remarkable results and are being extensively used in different domains. On the other hand, with increasing growth of cloud services, several Machine Learning as a Service (MLaaS) are offered where training and deploying machine learning models are performed on cloud providers' infrastructure. However, machine learning algorithms require access to raw data which is often privacy sensitive and can create potential security and privacy risks. To address this issue, we develop new techniques to provide solutions for applying deep neural network algorithms to the encrypted data. In this paper, we show that it is feasible and practical to train neural networks using encrypted data and to make encrypted predictions, and also return the predictions in an encrypted form. We demonstrate applicability of the proposed techniques and evaluate its performance. The empirical results show that it provides accurate privacy-preserving training and classification.
