Machine learning models, especially neural network (NN) classifiers, have acceptable performance and accuracy that leads to their wide adoption in different aspects of our daily lives. The underlying assumption is that these models are generated and used in attack free scenarios. However, it has been shown that neural network based classifiers are vulnerable to adversarial examples. Adversarial examples are inputs with special perturbations that are ignored by human eyes while can mislead NN classifiers. Most of the existing methods for generating such perturbations require a certain level of knowledge about the target classifier, which makes them not very practical. For example, some generators require knowledge of pre-softmax logits while others utilize prediction scores. In this paper, we design a practical black-box adversarial example generator, dubbed ManiGen. ManiGen does not require any knowledge of the inner state of the target classifier. It generates adversarial examples by searching along the manifold, which is a concise representation of input data. Through extensive set of experiments on different datasets, we show that (1) adversarial examples generated by ManiGen can mislead standalone classifiers by being as successful as the state-of-the-art white-box generator, Carlini, and (2) adversarial examples generated by ManiGen can more effectively attack classifiers with state-of-the-art defenses.

Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) can be viewed as an implicit estimator of a data distribution, and this perspective motivates using the adversarial concept in the true input parameter estimation of black-box generators. While previous works on likelihood-free inference introduces an implicit proposal distribution on the generator input, this paper analyzes theoretic limitations of the proposal distribution approach. On top of that, we introduce a new algorithm, Adversarial Likelihood-Free Inference (ALFI), to mitigate the analyzed limitations, so ALFI is able to find the posterior distribution on the input parameter for black-box generative models. We experimented ALFI with diverse simulation models as well as pre-trained statistical models, and we identified that ALFI achieves the best parameter estimation accuracy with a limited simulation budget.
Applications of machine learning (ML) models and convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been rapidly increased. Although ML models provide high accuracy in many applications, recent investigations show that such networks are highly vulnerable to adversarial attacks. The black-box adversarial attack is one type of attack that the attacker does not have any knowledge about the model or the training dataset. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to generate a black-box attack in sparse domain whereas the most important information of an image can be observed. Our investigation shows that large sparse components play a critical role in the performance of the image classifiers. Under this presumption, to generate adversarial example, we transfer an image into a sparse domain and put a threshold to choose only k largest components. In contrast to the very recent works that randomly perturb k low frequency (LoF) components, we perturb k largest sparse (LaS)components either randomly (query-based) or in the direction of the most correlated sparse signal from a different class. We show that LaS components contain some middle or higher frequency components information which can help us fool the classifiers with a fewer number of queries. We also demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach by fooling the TensorFlow Lite (TFLite) model of Google Cloud Vision platform. Mean squared error (MSE) and peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) are used as quality metrics. We present a theoretical proof to connect these metrics to the level of perturbation in the sparse domain. We tested our adversarial examples to the state-of-the-art CNNs and support vector machine (SVM) classifiers on color and grayscale image datasets. The results show the proposed method can highly increase the misclassification rate of the classifiers.
We demonstrate that model-based derivative free optimisation algorithms can generate adversarial targeted misclassification of deep networks using fewer network queries than non-model-based methods. Specifically, we consider the black-box setting, and show that the number of networks queries is less impacted by making the task more challenging either through reducing the allowed $ell^{infty}$ perturbation energy or training the network with defences against adversarial misclassification. We illustrate this by contrasting the BOBYQA algorithm with the state-of-the-art model-free adversarial targeted misclassification approaches based on genetic, combinatorial, and direct-search algorithms. We observe that for high $ell^{infty}$ energy perturbations on networks, the aforementioned simpler model-free methods require the fewest queries. In contrast, the proposed BOBYQA based method achieves state-of-the-art results when the perturbation energy decreases, or if the network is trained against adversarial perturbations.
Creating a state-of-the-art deep-learning system requires vast amounts of data, expertise, and hardware, yet research into embedding copyright protection for neural networks has been limited. One of the main methods for achieving such protection involves relying on the susceptibility of neural networks to backdoor attacks, but the robustness of these tactics has been primarily evaluated against pruning, fine-tuning, and model inversion attacks. In this work, we propose a neural network laundering algorithm to remove black-box backdoor watermarks from neural networks even when the adversary has no prior knowledge of the structure of the watermark. We are able to effectively remove watermarks used for recent defense or copyright protection mechanisms while achieving test accuracies above 97% and 80% for both MNIST and CIFAR-10, respectively. For all backdoor watermarking methods addressed in this paper, we find that the robustness of the watermark is significantly weaker than the original claims. We also demonstrate the feasibility of our algorithm in more complex tasks as well as in more realistic scenarios where the adversary is able to carry out efficient laundering attacks using less than 1% of the original training set size, demonstrating that existing backdoor watermarks are not sufficient to reach their claims.
With the growing popularity of Android devices, Android malware is seriously threatening the safety of users. Although such threats can be detected by deep learning as a service (DLaaS), deep neural networks as the weakest part of DLaaS are often deceived by the adversarial samples elaborated by attackers. In this paper, we propose a new semi-black-box attack framework called one-feature-each-iteration (OFEI) to craft Android adversarial samples. This framework modifies as few features as possible and requires less classifier information to fool the classifier. We conduct a controlled experiment to evaluate our OFEI framework by comparing it with the benchmark methods JSMF, GenAttack and pointwise attack. The experimental results show that our OFEI has a higher misclassification rate of 98.25%. Furthermore, OFEI can extend the traditional white-box attack methods in the image field, such as fast gradient sign method (FGSM) and DeepFool, to craft adversarial samples for Android. Finally, to enhance the security of DLaaS, we use two uncertainties of the Bayesian neural network to construct the combined uncertainty, which is used to detect adversarial samples and achieves a high detection rate of 99.28%.
