Fine-tunes the VAE decoder of Stable Diffusion with OmniMark layers so each user-specific 48-bit fingerprint is generated by encoding networks into the weights, enabling fingerprinted model creation in under 100 ms without retraining.
Problem
Model fingerprinting for latent diffusion models: distributing many differently fingerprinted copies of an LDM for user accountability and attribution, without retraining each copy and while keeping image quality and robustness to image and white-box model attacks.
Approach
Expands each standard VAE-decoder convolution into multiple parallel kernels whose weights are generated from the fingerprint along kernel, filter, channel, and spatial dimensions via small fully connected encoding networks; the merged kernel is a standard convolution at inference, and a sharpness-aware embedding strategy improves robustness to fine-tuning.
Key results
- Bit accuracy of about 99.7% on COCO (99.757) and 99.8% on MagicBrush for 48-bit fingerprints, outperforming SS (99.247 average).
- Image fidelity close to baseline: FID increase under 1 point and PSNR around 31 on COCO T2I.
- Fingerprinted model generation takes under 100 ms via a single forward pass, with no fine-tuning per user.

Surprising findings
- Encoding fingerprints only into kernel or spatial dimensions gives poor image quality and bit accuracy, so at least two dimensions are needed.
Limitations
- Fine-tuning attacks can still reduce bit accuracy (around 78% after 10k iterations) and lower TPR at the default threshold.
- Pruning, noise addition, and quantization attacks are handled less robustly than by SS, although they also significantly degrade image quality.
- Performance degrades with large N (N=16 fails to converge).
