• Abstract: This paper presents a game-theoretic framework to study the interactions of attack and defense for deep learning-based NextG signal classification. NextG systems such as the one envisioned for a massive number of IoT devices can employ deep neural networks (DNNs) for various tasks such as user equipment identification, physical layer authentication, and detection of incumbent users (such as in the Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) band). By training another DNN as the surrogate model, an adversary can launch an inference (exploratory) attack to learn the behavior of the victim model, predict successful operation modes (e.g., channel access), and jam them. A defense mechanism can increase the adversary's uncertainty by introducing controlled errors in the victim model's decisions (i.e., poisoning the adversary's training data). This defense is effective against an attack but reduces the performance when there is no attack. The interactions between the defender and the adversary are formulated as a non-cooperative game, where the defender selects the probability of defending or the defense level itself (i.e., the ratio of falsified decisions) and the adversary selects the probability of attacking. The defender's objective is to maximize its reward (e.g., throughput or transmission success ratio), whereas the adversary's objective is to minimize this reward and its attack cost. The Nash equilibrium strategies are determined as operation modes such that no player can unilaterally improve its utility given the other's strategy is fixed. A fictitious play is formulated for each player to play the game repeatedly in response to the empirical frequency of the opponent's actions. The performance in Nash equilibrium is compared to the fixed attack and defense cases, and the resilience of NextG signal classification against attacks is quantified.

  We propose an eXplainable AI (XAI) based defense strategy against adversarial attacks in such scenarios. A feature selector, trained with our method, can be used as a filter in front of the original authenticator. We demonstrate that our XAI based defense strategy is effective against adversarial attacks and outperforms other defense strategies.

  In adversarial RL, an external attacker has the power to manipulate the victim agent's interaction with the environment. We show the attacker's problem of designing a stealthy attack that maximizes its own expected reward. We argue that the optimal defense policy for the victim can be computed as the solution to a Stackelberg game.

  One way deception can be employed is through obscuring, or masking, some of the information about how systems are configured. We present a novel game-theoretic model of the resulting defender-attacker interaction, where the defender chooses a subset of attributes to mask, while the attacker responds by choosing an exploit to execute. We present a novel highly scalable approach for approximately solving such games by representing the strategies of both players as neural networks.

Our method desensitizes networks to the effects of poisoning by creating poisons during training and injecting them into training batches. We show that this defense withstands adaptive attacks, generalizes to diverse threat models, and incurs a better performance trade-off than previous defenses.
