Injection, Attack and Erasure: Revocable Backdoor Attacks Via Machine Unlearning

Backdoor attacks pose a persistent security risk to deep neural networks DNNs due to their stealth and durability. While recent research has explored leveraging model unlearning mechanisms to enhance backdoor concealment, existing attack strategies still leave persistent traces that may be detect...

Navigating the Deep: Signature Extraction on Deep Neural Networks

Neural network model extraction has emerged in recent years as an important security concern, as adversaries attempt to recover a network's parameters via black-box queries. A key step in this process is signature extraction, which aims to recover the absolute values of the network's weights laye...

TED-LaST: Towards Robust Backdoor Defense against Adaptive Attacks

Deep Neural Networks DNNs are vulnerable to backdoor attacks, where attackers implant hidden triggers during training to maliciously control model behavior. Topological Evolution Dynamics TED has recently emerged as a powerful tool for detecting backdoor attacks in DNNs. However, TED can be...

One Surrogate to Fool Them All: Universal, Transferable, and Targeted Adversarial Attacks with CLIP

Deep Neural Networks DNNs have achieved widespread success yet remain prone to adversarial attacks. Typically, such attacks either involve frequent queries to the target model or rely on surrogate models closely mirroring the target model -- often trained with subsets of the target model's traini...

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...
