Towards Certified Malware Detection: Provable Guarantees against Evasion Attacks

Machine learning-based static malware detectors remain vulnerable to adversarial evasion techniques, such as metamorphic engine mutations. To address this vulnerability, we propose a certifiably robust malware detection framework based on randomized smoothing through feature ablation and targeted...

Authority Backdoor: A Certifiable Backdoor Mechanism for Authoring DNNs

Deep Neural Networks DNNs, as valuable intellectual property, face unauthorized use. Existing protections, such as digital watermarking, are largely passive; they provide only post-hoc ownership verification and cannot actively prevent the illicit use of a stolen model. This work proposes a...
