Systems and methods associated with neural network verification are disclosed. One example method may be embodied on a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions. The instructions, when executed by a computer, may cause the computer to train a neural network with a training data set to perform a predefined task. The instructions may also cause the computer to train the neural network with a sentinel data set. The sentinel data set may cause the neural network to provide an identification signal in response to a predefined query set. The instructions may also cause the computer to verify whether a suspicious service operates an unauthorized copy of the neural network. The suspicious service may be verified by extracting the identification signal from responses the suspicious service provides to the predefined query set.
