arXiv:2611.07370v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Cryptanalytic model extraction poses a fundamental threat to deep learning model confidentiality by enabling precise parameter recovery with theoretical guarantees of functional equivalence. To counter this growing threat, $\mathsf{TraintoDefend}$ (NeurIPS 2025) was proposed as the first dedicated defense against cryptanalytic extraction and remains the only defense believed to be effective to date.
