• Abstract: Transformer models have excelled in natural language tasks, prompting the vision community to explore their implementation in computer vision problems. However, these models are still influenced by adversarial examples. In this paper, we investigate the attack capabilities of six common adversarial attacks on three pretrained ViT models to reveal the vulnerability of ViT models. To understand and analyse the bias in neural network decisions when the input is adversarial, we use two visualisation techniques that are attention rollout and grad attention rollout. To prevent ViT models from adversarial attack, we propose Protego, a detection framework that leverages the transformer intrinsic capabilities to detection adversarial examples of ViT models. Nonetheless, this is challenging due to a diversity of attack strategies that may be adopted by adversaries. Inspired by the attention mechanism, we know that the token of prediction contains all the information from the input sample. Additionally, the attention region for adversarial examples differs from that of normal examples. Given these points, we can train a detector that achieves superior performance than existing detection methods to identify adversarial examples. Our experiments have demonstrated the high effectiveness of our detection method. For these six adversarial attack methods, our detector's AUC scores all exceed 0.95. Protego may advance investigations in metaverse security.

  We propose ViTGuard as a general detection method for defending Vision Transformer (ViT) models against adversarial attacks. ViTGuard uses a Masked Autoencoder (MAE) model to recover randomly masked patches from the unmasked regions. threshold-based detectors leverage distinctive ViT features, including attention maps and classification (token representations) token representations, to distinguish between normal and adversarial samples.

  In this work, we ask whether it is possible to infer data-agnostic victim model (VM) information from data-specific adversarial instances. We collect a dataset of adversarial attacks across 7 attack types generated from 135 victim models. We show that a simple, supervised model parsing network (MPN) is able to infer VM attributes from unseen adversarial attacks.
