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...

SPA: Towards More Stealth and Persistent Backdoor Attacks in Federated Learning

Federated Learning FL has emerged as a leading paradigm for privacy-preserving distributed machine learning, yet the distributed nature of FL introduces unique security challenges, notably the threat of backdoor attacks. Existing backdoor strategies predominantly rely on end-to-end label...

TooBadRL: Trigger Optimization to Boost Effectiveness of Backdoor Attacks on Deep Reinforcement Learning

Deep reinforcement learning DRL has achieved remarkable success in a wide range of sequential decision-making domains, including robotics, healthcare, smart grids, and finance. Recent research demonstrates that attackers can efficiently exploit system vulnerabilities during the training phase to...
