• Abstract: The task of privacy-preserving face recognition (PPFR) currently faces two major unsolved challenges: (1) existing methods are typically effective only on specific face recognition models and struggle to generalize to black-box face recognition models; (2) current methods employ data-driven reversible representation encoding for privacy protection, making them susceptible to adversarial learning and reconstruction of the original image. We observe that face recognition models primarily rely on local features ({e.g., face contour, skin texture, and so on) for identification. Thus, by disrupting global features while enhancing local features, we achieve effective recognition even in black-box environments. Additionally, to prevent adversarial models from learning and reversing the anonymization process, we adopt an adversarial learning-based approach with irreversible stochastic injection to ensure the stochastic nature of the anonymization. Experimental results demonstrate that our method achieves an average recognition accuracy of 94.21\% on black-box models, outperforming existing methods in both privacy protection and anti-reconstruction capabilities.

  In this paper, we propose a novel face privacy protection method based on diffusion models, dubbed Diff-Privacy. Specifically, we train our proposed multi-scale image inversion module (MSI) to obtain a set of SDM format conditional embeddings of the original image. Based on the conditional embeddings, we design corresponding embedding scheduling strategies and construct different energy functions during the denoising process to achieve anonymization and visual identity information hiding.

Our method is the first black-box face recognition model inversion method that offers intuitive control over the generation process.
