• Abstract: Model inversion attacks (MIAs) seek to infer the private training data of a target classifier by generating synthetic images that reflect the characteristics of the target class through querying the model. However, prior studies have relied on full access to the target model, which is not practical in real-world scenarios. Additionally, existing black-box MIAs assume that the image prior and target model follow the same distribution. However, when confronted with diverse data distribution settings, these methods may result in suboptimal performance in conducting attacks. To address these limitations, this paper proposes a \textbf{C}onfidence-\textbf{G}uided \textbf{M}odel \textbf{I}nversion attack method called CG-MI, which utilizes the latent space of a pre-trained publicly available generative adversarial network (GAN) as prior information and gradient-free optimizer, enabling high-resolution MIAs across different data distributions in a black-box setting. Our experiments demonstrate that our method significantly \textbf{outperforms the SOTA black-box MIA by more than 49\% for Celeba and 58\% for Facescrub in different distribution settings}. Furthermore, our method exhibits the ability to generate high-quality images \textbf{comparable to those produced by white-box attacks}. Our method provides a practical and effective solution for black-box model inversion attacks.

  Existing attacks merely consider cross-dataset and cross-model transferability, ignoring the cross-test capability to perturb models trained in different domains. To powerfully examine the robustness of real-world re-id models, the Meta Transferable Generative Attack (MTGA) method is proposed. Our MTGA outperforms the SOTA methods by 21.5% and 11.3% on mean mAP drop rate, respectively.

  Model inversion 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.

  This paper proposes a novel Distributional Black-Box Model Inversion (DBB-MI) attack by constructing the probabilistic latent space for searching the target privacy data. As the latent probability distribution closely aligns with the target privacy data in latent space, the recovered data will leak the privacy of training samples of the target model significantly. Experiments conducted on diverse datasets and networks show that the present DBB-MI has better performance than state-of-the-art in attack accuracy, K-nearest neighbor feature distance, and Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio.

  We consider adversarial attacks to a black-box model when no queries are allowed. In this setting, many methods directly attack surrogate models and transfer the obtained adversarial examples to fool the target model. We show we can obtain a Meta-Surrogate Model (MSM) such that attacks to this model can be easier transferred to other models.
