• Abstract summary: We propose an eXplainable AI (XAI) based defense strategy against adversarial attacks in such scenarios. A feature selector, trained with our method, can be used as a filter in front of the original authenticator. We demonstrate that our XAI based defense strategy is effective against adversarial attacks and outperforms other defense strategies.

• Abstract: In recent years, machine learning models, especially deep neural networks, have been widely used for classification tasks in the security domain. However, these models have been shown to be vulnerable to adversarial manipulation: small changes learned by an adversarial attack model, when applied to the input, can cause significant changes in the output. Most research on adversarial attacks and corresponding defense methods focuses only on scenarios where adversarial samples are directly generated by the attack model. In this study, we explore a more practical scenario in behavior-based authentication, where adversarial samples are collected from the attacker. The generated adversarial samples from the model are replicated by attackers with a certain level of discrepancy. We propose an eXplainable AI (XAI) based defense strategy against adversarial attacks in such scenarios. A feature selector, trained with our method, can be used as a filter in front of the original authenticator. It filters out features that are more vulnerable to adversarial attacks or irrelevant to authentication, while retaining features that are more robust. Through comprehensive experiments, we demonstrate that our XAI based defense strategy is effective against adversarial attacks and outperforms other defense strategies, such as adversarial training and defensive distillation.

  Current defense mainly focuses on the known attacks, but the adversarial robustness to the unknown attacks is seriously overlooked. We propose an attack-agnostic defense method named Meta Invariance Defense (MID) We show that MID simultaneously achieves robustness to the imperceptible adversarial perturbations in high-level image classification and attack-suppression in low-level robust image regeneration.

  Backdoor attacks aim to surreptitiously insert malicious triggers into DNN models, granting unauthorized control during testing scenarios. Existing methods lack robustness against defense strategies and predominantly focus on enhancing trigger stealthiness while randomly selecting poisoned samples. We introduce a straightforward yet highly effective sampling methodology that leverages confidence scores. Specifically, it selects samples with lower confidence scores, significantly increasing the challenge for defenders in identifying and countering these attacks.

  Deep neural networks, which form the basis of such systems, are highly susceptible to a specific type of attack, called adversarial attacks. A hacker can, even with bare minimum computation, generate adversarial examples (images or data points that belong to another class, but consistently fool the model to get misclassified as genuine) and crumble the basis of such algorithms. We show two effective techniques, namely Dropout and Denoising Autoencoders, and show their success in preventing such attacks from fooling the model.
