• Abstract: Watermarking is a promising active diagnosis technique for detection of highly sophisticated attacks, but is vulnerable to malicious agents that use eavesdropped data to identify and then remove or replicate the watermark. In this work, we propose a hybrid multiplicative watermarking (HMWM) scheme, where the watermark parameters are periodically updated, following the dynamics of the unobservable states of specifically designed piecewise affine (PWA) hybrid systems. We provide a theoretical analysis of the effects of this scheme on the closed-loop performance, and prove that stability properties are preserved. Additionally, we show that the proposed approach makes it difficult for an eavesdropper to reconstruct the watermarking parameters, both in terms of the associated computational complexity and from a systems theoretic perspective.

  Safeguarding the intellectual property of machine learning models has emerged as a pressing concern in AI security. Model watermarking is a powerful technique for protecting ownership of machine learning models. We propose a novel model watermarking scheme, In-distribution Watermark Embedding (IWE), to overcome the limitations of existing method.

  We investigate the robustness of generative watermarking, which is created from the integration of watermarking embedding and text-to-image generation processing. We found that generative watermarking methods are robust to direct evasion attacks, like discriminator-based attacks, or manipulation based on the edge information in edge prediction-based attacks but vulnerable to malicious fine-tuning.

  We introduce Autoregressive Out-of-distribution Watermarking (AOW), a novel technique tailored specifically for recommender systems. Our approach entails selecting an initial item and querying it through the oracle model, followed by the selection of subsequent items with small prediction scores. To assess the efficacy of the watermark, the model is tasked with predicting the subsequent item given a truncated watermark sequence.
