• Authors: Yiming Li, Tongqing Zhai, Baoyuan Wu, Yong Jiang, Zhifeng Li, Shutao Xia
• Abstract summary: Currently, most of existing backdoor attacks adopted the setting of emphstatic trigger, $i.e.,$ triggers across the training and testing images follow the same appearance and are located in the same area. We demonstrate that such an attack paradigm is vulnerable when the trigger in testing images is not consistent with the one used for training.

• Abstract: Backdoor attack intends to inject hidden backdoor into the deep neural networks (DNNs), such that the prediction of the infected model will be maliciously changed if the hidden backdoor is activated by the attacker-defined trigger, while it performs well on benign samples. Currently, most of existing backdoor attacks adopted the setting of \emph{static} trigger, $i.e.,$ triggers across the training and testing images follow the same appearance and are located in the same area. In this paper, we revisit this attack paradigm by analyzing the characteristics of the static trigger. We demonstrate that such an attack paradigm is vulnerable when the trigger in testing images is not consistent with the one used for training. We further explore how to utilize this property for backdoor defense, and discuss how to alleviate such vulnerability of existing attacks.

  In a backdoor attack, an adversary inserts maliciously constructed backdoor examples into a training set to make the resulting model vulnerable to manipulation. Defending against such attacks typically involves viewing these inserted examples as outliers in the training set and using techniques from robust statistics to detect and remove them. We show that without structural information about the training data distribution, backdoor attacks are indistinguishable from naturally-occurring features in the data.
