• Authors: Rui Shu, Tianpei Xia, Laurie Williams, Tim Menzies
• Abstract summary: A machine learning-based security detection model is susceptible to adversarial evasion attacks. We propose an approach called Omni to explore methods that create an ensemble of "unexpected models" In studies with five types of adversarial evasion attacks, we show Omni is a promising approach as a defense strategy.

• Abstract: Background: Machine learning-based security detection models have become prevalent in modern malware and intrusion detection systems. However, previous studies show that such models are susceptible to adversarial evasion attacks. In this type of attack, inputs (i.e., adversarial examples) are specially crafted by intelligent malicious adversaries, with the aim of being misclassified by existing state-of-the-art models (e.g., deep neural networks). Once the attackers can fool a classifier to think that a malicious input is actually benign, they can render a machine learning-based malware or intrusion detection system ineffective. Goal: To help security practitioners and researchers build a more robust model against non-adaptive, white-box, and non-targeted adversarial evasion attacks through the idea of an ensemble model. Method: We propose an approach called Omni, the main idea of which is to explore methods that create an ensemble of "unexpected models"; i.e., models whose control hyperparameters have a large distance to the hyperparameters of an adversary's target model, with which we then make an optimized weighted ensemble prediction. Result: In studies with five types of adversarial evasion attacks (FGSM, BIM, JSMA, DeepFooland Carlini-Wagner) on five security datasets (NSL-KDD, CIC-IDS-2017, CSE-CIC-IDS2018, CICAnd-Mal2017, and the Contagio PDF dataset), we show Omni is a promising approach as a defense strategy against adversarial attacks when compared with other baseline treatments. Conclusion: When employing ensemble defense against adversarial evasion attacks, we suggest creating an ensemble with unexpected models that are distant from the attacker's expected model (i.e., target model) through methods such as hyperparameter optimization.

  We introduce Gradient-based Ranking Optimization (GRO) to defend against model extraction attacks on recommender systems. GRO aims to minimize the loss of the protected target model while maximizing the loss of the attacker's surrogate model. Results show GRO's superior effectiveness in defending against model extraction attacks.

  In this work, we ask whether it is possible to infer data-agnostic victim model (VM) information from data-specific adversarial instances. We collect a dataset of adversarial attacks across 7 attack types generated from 135 victim models. We show that a simple, supervised model parsing network (MPN) is able to infer VM attributes from unseen adversarial attacks.

  We propose a double defense mechanism to detect and mitigate adversarial attacks in I-IoT environments. We first detect if there is an adversarial attack on a given sample using novelty detection algorithms. If there is an attack, adversarial retraining provides a more robust model, while we apply standard training for regular samples.

  We investigate no-box adversarial examples, where the attacker can neither access the model information or the training set nor query the model. We propose three mechanisms for training with a very small dataset and find that prototypical reconstruction is the most effective. Our approach significantly diminishes the average prediction accuracy of the system to only 15.40%, which is on par with the attack that transfers adversarial examples from a pre-trained Arcface model.
