%X The problem of secure data processing by means of a neural network (NN) is addressed. Secure processing refers to the possibility that the NN owner does not get any knowledge about the processed data since they are provided to him in encrypted format. At the same time, the NN itself is protected, given that its owner may not be willing to disclose the knowledge embedded within it. The considered level of protection ensures that the data provided to the network and the network weights and activation functions are kept secret. Particular attention is given to prevent any disclosure of information that could bring a malevolent user to get access to the NN secrets by properly inputting fake data to any point of the proposed protocol. With respect to previous works in this field, the interaction between the user and the NN owner is kept to a minimum with no resort to multiparty computation protocols.
