Can we B.A.N Backdoor Attacks in Neural Networks?
- Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) are vulnerable to backdoor attacks, where an attacker can tamper with the model to behave maliciously on specific inputs.
- Backdoor attacks can be injected during training or by altering the weights and biases of the neural network.
- Outsourcing training through Machine Learning as a Service (MLaaS) can introduce security risks, including receiving backdoored models.
- Backdoored neural networks perform well on regular inputs but exhibit misclassifications based on hidden triggers, posing risks in applications like autonomous driving.
- Methods like Neural Cleanse (NC) and FeatureRE have been developed to detect and reverse backdoors in neural networks.
- Recent advancements like BTIDBF and BAN aim to address feature space backdoor attacks by efficiently detecting triggers and utilizing adversarial noise.
- BAN approach involves generating adversarial neuron noise and masked feature maps to identify and differentiate between benign and backdoored neurons.
- BAN has shown efficiency and scalability in identifying backdoors in neural networks, achieving an average accuracy of about 97.22% across different architectures.
- Given the challenge of detecting backdoors that do not significantly impact model performance, continuous monitoring and research in this area are crucial for securing deep neural networks.
- Research and advancements in the field of neural network security, especially in combating backdoor attacks, are essential for maintaining the integrity of machine learning systems.
