Despite being popularly used in many applications, neural network models have been found to be vulnerable to adversarial examples, i.e., carefully crafted examples aiming to mislead machine learning models. Adversarial examples can pose potential risks on safety and security critical applications. However, existing defense approaches are still vulnerable to attacks, especially in a white-box attack scenario. To address this issue, we propose a new defense approach, named MulDef, based on robustness diversity. Our approach consists of (1) a general defense framework based on multiple models and (2) a technique for generating these multiple models to achieve high defense capability. In particular, given a target model, our framework includes multiple models (constructed from the target model) to form a model family. The model family is designed to achieve robustness diversity (i.e., an adversarial example successfully attacking one model cannot succeed in attacking other models in the family). At runtime, a model is randomly selected from the family to be applied on each input example. Our general framework can inspire rich future research to construct a desirable model family achieving higher robustness diversity. Our evaluation results show that MulDef (with only up to 5 models in the family) can substantially improve the target models accuracy on adversarial examples by 22-74% in a white-box attack scenario, while maintaining similar accuracy on legitimate examples.

Deep neural networks have demonstrated cutting edge performance on various tasks including classification. However, it is well known that adversarially designed imperceptible perturbation of the input can mislead advanced classifiers. In this paper, Permutation Phase Defense (PPD), is proposed as a novel method to resist adversarial attacks. PPD combines random permutation of the image with phase component of its Fourier transform. The basic idea behind this approach is to turn adversarial defense problems analogously into symmetric cryptography, which relies solely on safekeeping of the keys for security. In PPD, safe keeping of the selected permutation ensures effectiveness against adversarial attacks. Testing PPD on MNIST and CIFAR-10 datasets yielded state-of-the-art robustness against the most powerful adversarial attacks currently available.
Despite the remarkable success of deep neural networks, significant concerns have emerged about their robustness to adversarial perturbations to inputs. While most attacks aim to ensure that these are imperceptible, physical perturbation attacks typically aim for being unsuspicious, even if perceptible. However, there is no universal notion of what it means for adversarial examples to be unsuspicious. We propose an approach for modeling suspiciousness by leveraging cognitive salience. Specifically, we split an image into foreground (salient region) and background (the rest), and allow significantly larger adversarial perturbations in the background, while ensuring that cognitive salience of background remains low. We describe how to compute the resulting non-salience-preserving dual-perturbation attacks on classifiers. We then experimentally demonstrate that our attacks indeed do not significantly change perceptual salience of the background, but are highly effective against classifiers robust to conventional attacks. Furthermore, we show that adversarial training with dual-perturbation attacks yields classifiers that are more robust to these than state-of-the-art robust learning approaches, and comparable in terms of robustness to conventional attacks.
Many deep learning algorithms can be easily fooled with simple adversarial examples. To address the limitations of existing defenses, we devised a probabilistic framework that can generate an exponentially large ensemble of models from a single model with just a linear cost. This framework takes advantage of neural network depth and stochastically decides whether or not to insert noise removal operators such as VAEs between layers. We show empirically the important role that model gradients have when it comes to determining transferability of adversarial examples, and take advantage of this result to demonstrate that it is possible to train models with limited adversarial attack transferability. Additionally, we propose a detection method based on metric learning in order to detect adversarial examples that have no hope of being cleaned of maliciously engineered noise.
Deep neural networks (DNNs) are vulnerable to adversarial examples with small perturbations. Adversarial defense thus has been an important means which improves the robustness of DNNs by defending against adversarial examples. Existing defense methods focus on some specific types of adversarial examples and may fail to defend well in real-world applications. In practice, we may face many types of attacks where the exact type of adversarial examples in real-world applications can be even unknown. In this paper, motivated by that adversarial examples are more likely to appear near the classification boundary, we study adversarial examples from a new perspective that whether we can defend against adversarial examples by pulling them back to the original clean distribution. We theoretically and empirically verify the existence of defense affine transformations that restore adversarial examples. Relying on this, we learn a defense transformer to counterattack the adversarial examples by parameterizing the affine transformations and exploiting the boundary information of DNNs. Extensive experiments on both toy and real-world datasets demonstrate the effectiveness and generalization of our defense transformer.
Neural Network classifiers have been used successfully in a wide range of applications. However, their underlying assumption of attack free environment has been defied by adversarial examples. Researchers tried to develop defenses; however, existing approaches are still far from providing effective solutions to this evolving problem. In this paper, we design a generative adversarial net (GAN) based zero knowledge adversarial training defense, dubbed ZK-GanDef, which does not consume adversarial examples during training. Therefore, ZK-GanDef is not only efficient in training but also adaptive to new adversarial examples. This advantage comes at the cost of small degradation in test accuracy compared to full knowledge approaches. Our experiments show that ZK-GanDef enhances test accuracy on adversarial examples by up-to 49.17% compared to zero knowledge approaches. More importantly, its test accuracy is close to that of the state-of-the-art full knowledge approaches (maximum degradation of 8.46%), while taking much less training time.
