FuseFSS: Efficient Secure LLM Inference with Function Secret Sharing
Yuhan Ma, Yong Li, Stefan Schmid
Abstract
Two-server secure inference allows a client to query a hosted large language model (LLM) without revealing prompts or embeddings. Recent GPU systems based on function secret sharing (FSS) make linear layers efficient, but fixed-point nonlinearities and helper operations remain a bottleneck because each operator is typically implemented as a bespoke protocol with its own comparisons, wrap-around corrections, and preprocessing material. We present FuseFSS, a compiler that replaces per-operator protocol design with a single compilation pipeline. For each scalar fixed-point operator, a compact specification lists its interval partition, low-degree arithmetic pieces, and required predicate bits. The compiler emits two batched FSS evaluations on the public masked value: one packed comparison that returns all predicate bits, and one vector interval lookup that returns the active coefficients and constants. Compared to the current state-of-the-art FSS-based GPU secure inference, FuseFSS preserves accuracy while achieving a – end-to-end speedup and reducing online communication by 9%–16% on BERT and GPT-style models; preprocessing is also lighter, with 14%–23% lower key-generation time and 20%–24% smaller keys.
