With the rapid growth of interconnected devices in Industrial and Medical Internet of Things IIoT and MIoT ecosystems, ensuring timely and accurate detection of cyber threats has become a critical challenge. This study presents an advanced intrusion detection framework based on a hybrid...

DF-LoGiT: Data-Free Logic-Gated Backdoor Attacks in Vision Transformers

The widespread adoption of Vision Transformers ViTs elevates supply-chain risk on third-party model hubs, where an adversary can implant backdoors into released checkpoints. Existing ViT backdoor attacks largely rely on poisoned-data training, while prior data-free attempts typically require...

Hammering the Diagnosis: Rowhammer-Induced Stealthy Trojan Attacks on ViT-Based Medical Imaging

Vision Transformers ViTs have emerged as powerful architectures in medical image analysis, excelling in tasks such as disease detection, segmentation, and classification. However, their reliance on large, attention-driven models makes them vulnerable to hardware-level attacks. In this paper, we...

ViT-EnsembleAttack: Augmenting Ensemble Models for Stronger Adversarial Transferability in Vision Transformers

Ensemble-based attacks have been proven to be effective in enhancing adversarial transferability by aggregating the outputs of models with various architectures. However, existing research primarily focuses on refining ensemble weights or optimizing the ensemble path, overlooking the exploration ...

Breaking the Illusion of Security Via Interpretation: Interpretable Vision Transformer Systems under Attack

Vision transformer ViT models, when coupled with interpretation models, are regarded as secure and challenging to deceive, making them well-suited for security-critical domains such as medical applications, autonomous vehicles, drones, and robotics. However, successful attacks on these systems ca...

Boosting Generative Adversarial Transferability with Self-Supervised Vision Transformer Features

The ability of deep neural networks DNNs come from extracting and interpreting features from the data provided. By exploiting intermediate features in DNNs instead of relying on hard labels, we craft adversarial perturbation that generalize more effectively, boosting black-box transferability...

Deep CNN Face Matchers Inherently Support Revocable Biometric Templates

One common critique of biometric authentication is that if an individual's biometric is compromised, then the individual has no recourse. The concept of revocable biometrics was developed to address this concern. A biometric scheme is revocable if an individual can have their current enrollment i...

NAP-Tuning: Neural Augmented Prompt Tuning for Adversarially Robust Vision-Language Models

Vision-Language Models VLMs such as CLIP have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in understanding relationships between visual and textual data through joint embedding spaces. Despite their effectiveness, these models remain vulnerable to adversarial attacks, particularly in the image modality,...

TeleSparse: Practical Privacy-Preserving Verification of Deep Neural Networks

Verification of the integrity of deep learning inference is crucial for understanding whether a model is being applied correctly. However, such verification typically requires access to model weights and potentially sensitive or private training data. So-called Zero-knowledge Succinct...
