Federated learning improves segmentation accuracy for hardware reverse engineering but remains vulnerable to recovering proprietary SEM images via gradient inversion attacks.
DECIFR shows that public standard cell library layouts enable a no-auxiliary-data membership inference attack on federated gradient updates by correlating reconstruction quality with training membership in integrated circuit datasets.
