# Relationship of attacks and intellectual property asset

## General Image Description

The UML class diagram visualizes a threat model with 1 threat, determined from the conducted systematic literature review, which targets the intellectual property for the compromise. The compromise of the intellectual property is conducted through “ML system input/API”.

Intellectual property: legal rights and protections, proprietary methods, training methodologies, curated training data and designs associated with the produced machine learning model and its components. The intellectual property underlines a company’s competitive advantage, it can incorporate developed trade secrets and patents. The “1*” notation indicates that a model may “have one intellectual property”.

## List of threats

1. [IP.T.1] A fingerprinting attack aims to uniquely identify a specific machine learning model instance or to determine which model or family of models is being used in a black box setting. The goal is to derive a signature that is unique to a particular model, similar to human fingerprint biometry.
