Universal Adversarial Examples in Remote Sensing: Methodology and Benchmark

arXiv · · Significant research

Summary

This paper introduces a novel black-box adversarial attack method, Mixup-Attack, to generate universal adversarial examples for remote sensing data. The method identifies common vulnerabilities in neural networks by attacking features in the shallow layer of a surrogate model. The authors also present UAE-RS, the first dataset of black-box adversarial samples in remote sensing, to benchmark the robustness of deep learning models against adversarial attacks.

SemDiff: Generating Natural Unrestricted Adversarial Examples via Semantic Attributes Optimization in Diffusion Models

arXiv ·

This paper introduces SemDiff, a novel method for generating unrestricted adversarial examples (UAEs) by exploring the semantic latent space of diffusion models. SemDiff uses multi-attribute optimization to ensure attack success while preserving the naturalness and imperceptibility of generated UAEs. Experiments on high-resolution datasets demonstrate SemDiff's superior performance compared to state-of-the-art methods in attack success rate and imperceptibility, while also evading defenses.

VENOM: Text-driven Unrestricted Adversarial Example Generation with Diffusion Models

arXiv ·

The paper introduces VENOM, a text-driven framework for generating high-quality unrestricted adversarial examples using diffusion models. VENOM unifies image content generation and adversarial synthesis into a single reverse diffusion process, enhancing both attack success rate and image quality. The framework incorporates an adaptive adversarial guidance strategy with momentum to ensure the generated adversarial examples align with the distribution of natural images.

Provable Unrestricted Adversarial Training without Compromise with Generalizability

arXiv ·

This paper introduces Provable Unrestricted Adversarial Training (PUAT), a novel adversarial training approach. PUAT enhances robustness against both unrestricted and restricted adversarial examples while improving standard generalizability by aligning the distributions of adversarial examples, natural data, and the classifier's learned distribution. The approach uses partially labeled data and an augmented triple-GAN to generate effective unrestricted adversarial examples, demonstrating superior performance on benchmarks.
