• Abstract: Face recognition (FR) has been applied to nearly every aspect of daily life, but it is always accompanied by the underlying risk of leaking private information. At present, almost all attack models against FR rely heavily on the presence of a classification layer. However, in practice, the FR model can obtain complex features of the input via the model backbone, and then compare it with the target for inference, which does not explicitly involve the outputs of the classification layer adopting logit or other losses. In this work, we advocate a novel inference attack composed of two stages for practical FR models without a classification layer. The first stage is the membership inference attack. Specifically, We analyze the distances between the intermediate features and batch normalization (BN) parameters. The results indicate that this distance is a critical metric for membership inference. We thus design a simple but effective attack model that can determine whether a face image is from the training dataset or not. The second stage is the model inversion attack, where sensitive private data is reconstructed using a pre-trained generative adversarial network (GAN) guided by the attack model in the first stage. To the best of our knowledge, the proposed attack model is the very first in the literature developed for FR models without a classification layer. We illustrate the application of the proposed attack model in the establishment of privacy-preserving FR techniques.

  Model attacks (MIAs) aim to reconstruct private images from a target classifier's training set, thereby raising privacy concerns in AI applications. Previous GAN-based MIAs tend to suffer from inferior generative fidelity due to GAN's inherent flaws and biased optimization within latent space. We propose Diffusion-based Model Inversion (Diff-MI) attacks to alleviate these issues.

Compared to prior DG works, we face two new challenges: 1) how to learn the concept of unknown'' during training with only source known-class samples, and 2) how to adapt the source-trained model to unseen environments.

  Some adversarial attacks fool a model into false or absurd classifications. We introduce our simple yet effective method: Defense-Prefix (DP), which inserts the DP token before a class name to make words "robust" against typographic attacks. Our method significantly improves the accuracy of classification tasks for typographic attack datasets, while maintaining the zero-shot capabilities of the model.

  We introduce sampling attack, a novel membership inference technique that unlike other standard membership adversaries is able to work under severe restriction of no access to scores of the victim model. We show that a victim model that only publishes the labels is still susceptible to sampling attacks and the adversary can recover up to 100% of its performance. For defense, we choose differential privacy in the form of gradient perturbation during the training of the victim model as well as output perturbation at prediction time.

• Leveraging Siamese Networks for One-Shot Intrusion Detection Model [0.0]
  Supervised Machine Learning (ML) to enhance Intrusion Detection Systems has been the subject of significant research. retraining the models in-situ renders the network susceptible to attacks owing to the time-window required to acquire a sufficient volume of data. Here, a complementary approach referred to as 'One-Shot Learning', whereby a limited number of examples of a new attack-class is used to identify a new attack-class. A Siamese Network is trained to differentiate between classes based on pairs similarities, rather than features, allowing to identify new and previously unseen attacks.
