## What is MindArmour

A tool box for MindSpore users to enhance model security and trustworthiness and protect privacy data.

MindArmour model security module is designed for adversarial examples, including four submodule: adversarial examples generation, adversarial examples detection, model defense and evaluation. The architecture is shown as follow：

![mindarmour_architecture](docs/mindarmour_architecture.png)

MindArmour differential privacy module Differential-Privacy implements the differential privacy optimizer. Currently, SGD, Momentum and Adam are supported. They are differential privacy optimizers based on the Gaussian mechanism. 
This mechanism supports both non-adaptive and adaptive policy. Rényi differential privacy (RDP) and Zero-Concentrated differential privacy（ZDP） are provided to monitor differential privacy budgets. The architecture is shown as follow：

## Setting up MindArmour

### Dependencies

This library uses MindSpore to accelerate graph computations performed by many machine learning models. Therefore, installing MindSpore is a pre-requisite.  All other dependencies are included in `setup.py`.

### Installation

#### Installation for development

1. Download source code from Gitee.

```bash
git clone https://gitee.com/mindspore/mindarmour.git
```

2. Compile and install in MindArmour directory. 

```bash
$ cd mindarmour
$ python setup.py install
```

#### `Pip` installation

1. Download whl package from [MindSpore website](https://www.mindspore.cn/versions/en), then run the following command:

```
pip install mindarmour-{version}-cp37-cp37m-linux_{arch}.whl
```

2. Successfully installed, if there is no error message such as `No module named 'mindarmour'` when execute the following command:

```bash
python -c 'import mindarmour'
```
