• Abstract: Deep neural networks are vulnerable to Trojan attacks. Existing attacks use visible patterns (e.g., a patch or image transformations) as triggers, which are vulnerable to human inspection. In this paper, we propose stealthy and efficient Trojan attacks, BppAttack. Based on existing biology literature on human visual systems, we propose to use image quantization and dithering as the Trojan trigger, making imperceptible changes. It is a stealthy and efficient attack without training auxiliary models. Due to the small changes made to images, it is hard to inject such triggers during training. To alleviate this problem, we propose a contrastive learning based approach that leverages adversarial attacks to generate negative sample pairs so that the learned trigger is precise and accurate. The proposed method achieves high attack success rates on four benchmark datasets, including MNIST, CIFAR-10, GTSRB, and CelebA. It also effectively bypasses existing Trojan defenses and human inspection. Our code can be found in https://github.com/RU-System-Software-and-Security/BppAttack.

  Trojan attacks are the hardest to defend against. Badnet kind of attacks introduces Trojan backdoors to multiple target classes and allows triggers to be placed anywhere in the image. To defend against this attack, we first introduce a trigger reverse-engineering mechanism that uses multiple images to recover a variety of potential triggers. We then propose a detection mechanism by measuring the transferability of such recovered triggers.

  We propose a novel host-free Trojan attack with triggers that are fixed in the semantic space but not necessarily in the pixel space. In contrast to existing Trojan attacks which use clean input images as hosts to carry small, meaningless trigger patterns, our attack considers triggers as full-sized images belonging to a semantically meaningful object class.

  Backdoor attack intends to inject hidden backdoor into the deep neural networks (DNNs) Most existing backdoor attacks adopted the setting of static trigger, $i.e.,$ triggers across the training and testing images. We demonstrate that this attack paradigm is vulnerable when the trigger in testing images is not consistent with the one used for training.

  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.

  trojan attacks insert some misbehavior at training using samples with a mark or trigger, which is exploited at inference or testing time. We propose a novel defensive technique against trojan attacks, in which DNNs are taught to disregard the styles of inputs and focus on their content. Results show that the method reduces the attack success rate significantly to values 1% in all the tested attacks.

• 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.
