- Abstract: The progress in generative models, particularly Generative Adversarial
Networks (GANs), opened new possibilities for image generation but raised
concerns about potential malicious uses, especially in sensitive areas like
medical imaging. This study introduces MITS-GAN, a novel approach to prevent
tampering in medical images, with a specific focus on CT scans. The approach
disrupts the output of the attacker's CT-GAN architecture by introducing
imperceptible but yet precise perturbations. Specifically, the proposed
approach involves the introduction of appropriate Gaussian noise to the input
as a protective measure against various attacks. Our method aims to enhance
tamper resistance, comparing favorably to existing techniques. Experimental
results on a CT scan dataset demonstrate MITS-GAN's superior performance,
emphasizing its ability to generate tamper-resistant images with negligible
artifacts. As image tampering in medical domains poses life-threatening risks,
our proactive approach contributes to the responsible and ethical use of
generative models. This work provides a foundation for future research in
countering cyber threats in medical imaging. Models and codes are publicly

EvoSeed is an evolutionary strategy-based algorithmic framework for generating photo-realistic natural adversarial samples.
We employ CMA-ES to optimize the search for an initial seed vector, which, when processed by the Conditional Diffusion Model, results in the natural adversarial sample misclassified by the Model.
Experiments show that generated adversarial images are of high image quality, raising concerns about generating harmful content bypassing safety classifiers.

We propose a unified framework Adv-Diffusion that can generate imperceptible adversarial identity perturbations in the latent space but not the raw pixel space.
Specifically, we propose the identity-sensitive conditioned diffusion generative model to generate semantic perturbations in the surroundings.
