• Title: On the Importance of Encrypting Deep Features
• Authors: Xingyang Ni, Heikki Huttunen, Esa Rahtu
• Abstract summary: We analyze model inversion attacks with only two assumptions: feature vectors of user data are known, and a black-box API for inference is provided. Experiments have been conducted on state-of-the-art models in person re-identification, and two attack scenarios (i.e., recognizing auxiliary attributes and reconstructing user data) are investigated. Results show that an adversary could successfully infer sensitive information even under severe constraints.

• Abstract: In this study, we analyze model inversion attacks with only two assumptions: feature vectors of user data are known, and a black-box API for inference is provided. On the one hand, limitations of existing studies are addressed by opting for a more practical setting. Experiments have been conducted on state-of-the-art models in person re-identification, and two attack scenarios (i.e., recognizing auxiliary attributes and reconstructing user data) are investigated. Results show that an adversary could successfully infer sensitive information even under severe constraints. On the other hand, it is advisable to encrypt feature vectors, especially for a machine learning model in production. As an alternative to traditional encryption methods such as AES, a simple yet effective method termed ShuffleBits is presented. More specifically, the binary sequence of each floating-point number gets shuffled. Deployed using the one-time pad scheme, it serves as a plug-and-play module that is applicable to any neural network, and the resulting model directly outputs deep features in encrypted form. Source code is publicly available at https://github.com/nixingyang/ShuffleBits.

  We show that the retriever-reader suffers from performance deterioration when it is trained on labeled data from one domain and used in another domain. We propose an adversarial algorithm to make the retriever component robust against distribution shift. We then construct eight fact checking scenarios from these datasets, and compare our model to a set of strong baseline models.

To prevent reconstruction attacks, the proposed model does not communicate node-level representations between devices. To alleviate the attacks to graph properties, the obfuscated features that contain information from both vectors are communicated.

  presentation attack detection (PAD) methods often fail in generalizing to unseen attacks. We propose a new framework for PAD using a one-class classifier, where the representation used is learned with a Multi-Channel Convolutional Neural Network (MCCNN) A novel loss function is introduced, which forces the network to learn a compact embedding for bonafide class while being far from the representation of attacks. The proposed framework introduces a novel approach to learn a robust PAD system from bonafide and available (known) attack classes.
