• Authors: Mojan Javaheripi, Mohammad Samragh, Gregory Fields, Tara Javidi, Farinaz Koushanfar
• Abstract summary: We propose CLEANN, the first end-to-end framework that enables online mitigation of Trojans for embedded Deep Neural Network (DNN) applications. A Trojan attack works by injecting a backdoor in the DNN while training; during inference, the Trojan can be activated by the specific backdoor trigger. We leverage dictionary learning and sparse approximation to characterize the statistical behavior of benign data and identify Trojan triggers.

• Abstract: We propose CLEANN, the first end-to-end framework that enables online mitigation of Trojans for embedded Deep Neural Network (DNN) applications. A Trojan attack works by injecting a backdoor in the DNN while training; during inference, the Trojan can be activated by the specific backdoor trigger. What differentiates CLEANN from the prior work is its lightweight methodology which recovers the ground-truth class of Trojan samples without the need for labeled data, model retraining, or prior assumptions on the trigger or the attack. We leverage dictionary learning and sparse approximation to characterize the statistical behavior of benign data and identify Trojan triggers. CLEANN is devised based on algorithm/hardware co-design and is equipped with specialized hardware to enable efficient real-time execution on resource-constrained embedded platforms. Proof of concept evaluations on CLEANN for the state-of-the-art Neural Trojan attacks on visual benchmarks demonstrate its competitive advantage in terms of attack resiliency and execution overhead.

  Trojan attacks threaten deep neural networks (DNNs) by poisoning them to behave normally on most samples, yet to produce manipulated results for inputs attached with a trigger. We propose a novel Trojan network detection regime: first locating a "winning Trojan lottery ticket" which preserves nearly full Trojan information yet only chance-level performance on clean inputs; then recovering the trigger embedded in this already isolated subnetwork.

  We study the problem of the Trojan network (TrojanNet) detection in the data-scarce regime. We propose a data-limited TrojanNet detector (TND), when only a few data samples are available for TrojanNet detection. In addition, we propose a data-free TND, which can detect a TrojanNet without accessing any data samples.

  Trojan attacks interfere with the training pipeline by inserting triggers into some of the training samples and trains the model to act maliciously only for samples that contain the trigger. Existing Trojan detectors make strong assumptions about the types of triggers and attacks. We propose a detector that is based on the analysis of the intrinsic properties; that are affected due to the Trojaning process.

• An Embarrassingly Simple Approach for Trojan Attack in Deep Neural Networks [59.42357806777537]
  trojan attack aims to attack deployed deep neural networks (DNNs) relying on hidden trigger patterns inserted by hackers. We propose a training-free attack approach which is different from previous work, in which trojaned behaviors are injected by retraining model on a poisoned dataset. The proposed TrojanNet has several nice properties including (1) it activates by tiny trigger patterns and keeps silent for other signals, (2) it is model-agnostic and could be injected into most DNNs, dramatically expanding its attack scenarios, and (3) the training-free mechanism saves massive training efforts compared to conventional trojan attack methods.
