Researchers have proposed a novel attack paradigm, called Channel-Triggered Backdoor Attack (CT-BA), to exploit security vulnerabilities in wireless communication systems using deep learning.
CT-BA leverages specific wireless channels as backdoor triggers, utilizing channel gain and channel noise as potential triggers.
The attack demonstrates high success rates and effectiveness in various Semantic Communication (SemCom) systems and image reconstruction models.
The study highlights the need for developing defense mechanisms to mitigate the risks associated with such backdoor attacks on wireless communication systems.
