• Authors: Hao Lv, Bing Li, Lei Zhang, Cheng Liu, Ying Wang
• Abstract summary: We propose two types of hardware-aware attack methods with respect to different attack scenarios and objectives. The first is adversarial attack, VADER, which perturbs the input samples to mislead the prediction of neural networks. The second is fault injection attack, EFI, which perturbs the network parameter space such that a specified sample will be classified to a target label.

• Abstract: The RRAM-based neuromorphic computing system has amassed explosive interests for its superior data processing capability and energy efficiency than traditional architectures, and thus being widely used in many data-centric applications. The reliability and security issues of the NCS therefore become an essential problem. In this paper, we systematically investigated the adversarial threats to the RRAM-based NCS and observed that the RRAM hardware feature can be leveraged to strengthen the attack effect, which has not been granted sufficient attention by previous algorithmic attack methods. Thus, we proposed two types of hardware-aware attack methods with respect to different attack scenarios and objectives. The first is adversarial attack, VADER, which perturbs the input samples to mislead the prediction of neural networks. The second is fault injection attack, EFI, which perturbs the network parameter space such that a specified sample will be classified to a target label, while maintaining the prediction accuracy on other samples. Both attack methods leverage the RRAM properties to improve the performance compared with the conventional attack methods. Experimental results show that our hardware-aware attack methods can achieve nearly 100% attack success rate with extremely low operational cost, while maintaining the attack stealthiness.
