• Abstract summary: Multi-agent collaborative (MAC) perception is more vulnerable to adversarial attacks than single-agent perception. We propose Malicious Agent Detection (MADE), a reactive defense specific to MAC perception. We conduct comprehensive evaluations on a benchmark 3D dataset V2X-sim and a real-road dataset DAIR-V2X.

• Abstract: Recently, multi-agent collaborative (MAC) perception has been proposed and outperformed the traditional single-agent perception in many applications, such as autonomous driving. However, MAC perception is more vulnerable to adversarial attacks than single-agent perception due to the information exchange. The attacker can easily degrade the performance of a victim agent by sending harmful information from a malicious agent nearby. In this paper, we extend adversarial attacks to an important perception task -- MAC object detection, where generic defenses such as adversarial training are no longer effective against these attacks. More importantly, we propose Malicious Agent Detection (MADE), a reactive defense specific to MAC perception that can be deployed by each agent to accurately detect and then remove any potential malicious agent in its local collaboration network. In particular, MADE inspects each agent in the network independently using a semi-supervised anomaly detector based on a double-hypothesis test with the Benjamini-Hochberg procedure to control the false positive rate of the inference. For the two hypothesis tests, we propose a match loss statistic and a collaborative reconstruction loss statistic, respectively, both based on the consistency between the agent to be inspected and the ego agent where our detector is deployed. We conduct comprehensive evaluations on a benchmark 3D dataset V2X-sim and a real-road dataset DAIR-V2X and show that with the protection of MADE, the drops in the average precision compared with the best-case "oracle" defender against our attack are merely 1.28% and 0.34%, respectively, much lower than 8.92% and 10.00% for adversarial training, respectively.

  We introduce a novel method that involves injecting traitor agents into the CMARL system. In TMDP, traitors are trained using the same MARL algorithm as the victim agents, with their reward function set as the negative of the victim agents' reward. CuDA2 enhances the efficiency and aggressiveness of attacks on the specified victim agents' policies.

  Federated Learning (FL) facilitates decentralized machine learning model training, preserving data privacy, lowering communication costs, and boosting model performance through diversified data sources. FL faces vulnerabilities such as poisoning attacks, undermining model integrity with both untargeted performance degradation and targeted backdoor attacks. We define a new notion of strong adaptive adversaries, capable of adapting to multiple objectives simultaneously. MESAS is the first defense robust against strong adaptive adversaries, effective in real-world data scenarios, with an average overhead of just 24.37 seconds.
