防御对抗例子仍然是一个空旷的问题。一个普遍的信念是，推理的随机性增加了寻找对抗性输入的成本。这种辩护的一个例子是将随机转换应用于输入之前，然后将其馈送到模型。在本文中，我们从经验和理论上研究了这种随机预处理的防御措施，并证明它们存在缺陷。首先，我们表明大多数随机防御措施比以前想象的要弱。他们缺乏足够的随机性来承受诸如投影梯度下降之类的标准攻击。这对长期以来的假设产生了怀疑，即随机防御能力无效，旨在逃避确定性的防御和迫使攻击者以整合对转型（EOT）概念的期望。其次，我们表明随机防御与对抗性鲁棒性和模型不变性之间的权衡面临。随着辩护模型获得更多的随机化不变性，它们变得不太有效。未来的工作将需要使这两种效果分解。我们的代码在补充材料中可用。

Adaptive attacks have (rightfully) become the de facto standard for evaluating defenses to adversarial examples. We find, however, that typical adaptive evaluations are incomplete. We demonstrate that thirteen defenses recently published at ICLR, ICML and NeurIPS-and which illustrate a diverse set of defense strategies-can be circumvented despite attempting to perform evaluations using adaptive attacks. While prior evaluation papers focused mainly on the end result-showing that a defense was ineffective-this paper focuses on laying out the methodology and the approach necessary to perform an adaptive attack. Some of our attack strategies are generalizable, but no single strategy would have been sufficient for all defenses. This underlines our key message that adaptive attacks cannot be automated and always require careful and appropriate tuning to a given defense. We hope that these analyses will serve as guidance on how to properly perform adaptive attacks against defenses to adversarial examples, and thus will allow the community to make further progress in building more robust models.

神经网络对攻击的缺乏鲁棒性引起了对安全敏感环境（例如自动驾驶汽车）的担忧。虽然许多对策看起来可能很有希望，但只有少数能够承受严格的评估。使用随机变换（RT）的防御能力显示出令人印象深刻的结果，尤其是Imagenet上的Bart（Raff等，2019）。但是，这种防御尚未经过严格评估，使其稳健性的理解不足。它们的随机特性使评估更具挑战性，并使对确定性模型的许多拟议攻击不可应用。首先，我们表明BART评估中使用的BPDA攻击（Athalye等，2018a）无效，可能高估了其稳健性。然后，我们尝试通过明智的转换和贝叶斯优化来调整其参数来构建最强的RT防御。此外，我们创造了最强烈的攻击来评估我们的RT防御。我们的新攻击极大地胜过基线，与常用的EOT攻击减少19％相比，将准确性降低了83％（$ 4.3 \ times $改善）。我们的结果表明，在Imagenette数据集上的RT防御（ImageNet的十级子集）在对抗性示例上并不强大。进一步扩展研究，我们使用新的攻击来对抗RT防御（称为Advrt），从而获得了巨大的稳健性增长。代码可从https://github.com/wagner-group/demystify-random-transform获得。

随着现实世界图像的大小不同，机器学习模型是包括上游图像缩放算法的较大系统的一部分。在本文中，我们研究了基于决策的黑框设置中图像缩放过程的漏洞与机器学习模型之间的相互作用。我们提出了一种新颖的采样策略，以端到端的方式使黑框攻击利用漏洞在缩放算法，缩放防御和最终的机器学习模型中。基于这种缩放感知的攻击，我们揭示了大多数现有的缩放防御能力在下游模型的威胁下无效。此外，我们从经验上观察到，标准的黑盒攻击可以通过利用脆弱的缩放程序来显着提高其性能。我们进一步在具有基于决策的黑盒攻击的商业图像分析API上证明了这个问题。

虽然深度神经网络在各种任务中表现出前所未有的性能，但对对抗性示例的脆弱性阻碍了他们在安全关键系统中的部署。许多研究表明，即使在黑盒设置中也可能攻击，其中攻击者无法访问目标模型的内部信息。大多数黑匣子攻击基于查询，每个都可以获得目标模型的输入输出，并且许多研究侧重于减少所需查询的数量。在本文中，我们注意了目标模型的输出完全对应于查询输入的隐含假设。如果将某些随机性引入模型中，它可以打破假设，因此，基于查询的攻击可能在梯度估计和本地搜索中具有巨大的困难，这是其攻击过程的核心。从这种动机来看，我们甚至观察到一个小的添加剂输入噪声可以中和大多数基于查询的攻击和名称这个简单但有效的方法小噪声防御（SND）。我们分析了SND如何防御基于查询的黑匣子攻击，并展示其与CIFAR-10和ImageNet数据集的八种最先进的攻击有效性。即使具有强大的防御能力，SND几乎保持了原始的分类准确性和计算速度。通过在推断下仅添加一行代码，SND很容易适用于预先训练的模型。

We identify obfuscated gradients, a kind of gradient masking, as a phenomenon that leads to a false sense of security in defenses against adversarial examples. While defenses that cause obfuscated gradients appear to defeat iterative optimizationbased attacks, we find defenses relying on this effect can be circumvented. We describe characteristic behaviors of defenses exhibiting the effect, and for each of the three types of obfuscated gradients we discover, we develop attack techniques to overcome it. In a case study, examining noncertified white-box-secure defenses at ICLR 2018, we find obfuscated gradients are a common occurrence, with 7 of 9 defenses relying on obfuscated gradients. Our new attacks successfully circumvent 6 completely, and 1 partially, in the original threat model each paper considers.

对抗性可转移性是一种有趣的性质 - 针对一个模型制作的对抗性扰动也是对另一个模型有效的，而这些模型来自不同的模型家庭或培训过程。为了更好地保护ML系统免受对抗性攻击，提出了几个问题：对抗性转移性的充分条件是什么，以及如何绑定它？有没有办法降低对抗的转移性，以改善合奏ML模型的鲁棒性？为了回答这些问题，在这项工作中，我们首先在理论上分析和概述了模型之间的对抗性可转移的充分条件;然后提出一种实用的算法，以减少集合内基础模型之间的可转换，以提高其鲁棒性。我们的理论分析表明，只有促进基础模型梯度之间的正交性不足以确保低可转移性;与此同时，模型平滑度是控制可转移性的重要因素。我们还在某些条件下提供了对抗性可转移性的下界和上限。灵感来自我们的理论分析，我们提出了一种有效的可转让性，减少了平滑（TRS）集合培训策略，以通过实施基础模型之间的梯度正交性和模型平滑度来培训具有低可转换性的强大集成。我们对TRS进行了广泛的实验，并与6个最先进的集合基线进行比较，防止不同数据集的8个白箱攻击，表明所提出的TRS显着优于所有基线。

由于机器学习（ML）系统变得普遍存在，因此保护其安全性至关重要。然而，最近已经证明，动机的对手能够通过使用语义转换扰乱测试数据来误导ML系统。虽然存在丰富的研究机构，但为ML模型提供了可提供的稳健性保证，以防止$ \ ell_p $ norm界限对抗对抗扰动，抵御语义扰动的保证仍然很广泛。在本文中，我们提供了TSS - 一种统一的框架，用于针对一般对抗性语义转换的鲁棒性认证。首先，根据每个转换的性质，我们将常见的变换划分为两类，即可解决的（例如，高斯模糊）和差异可解的（例如，旋转）变换。对于前者，我们提出了特定于转型的随机平滑策略并获得强大的稳健性认证。后者类别涵盖涉及插值错误的变换，我们提出了一种基于分层采样的新方法，以证明稳健性。我们的框架TSS利用这些认证策略并结合了一致性增强的培训，以提供严谨的鲁棒性认证。我们对十种挑战性语义转化进行了广泛的实验，并表明TSS显着优于现有技术。此外，据我们所知，TSS是第一种在大规模想象数据集上实现非竞争认证稳健性的方法。例如，我们的框架在ImageNet上实现了旋转攻击的30.4％认证的稳健准确性（在$ \ PM 30 ^ \ CIC $）。此外，要考虑更广泛的转换，我们展示了TSS对自适应攻击和不可预见的图像损坏，例如CIFAR-10-C和Imagenet-C。

The field of defense strategies against adversarial attacks has significantly grown over the last years, but progress is hampered as the evaluation of adversarial defenses is often insufficient and thus gives a wrong impression of robustness. Many promising defenses could be broken later on, making it difficult to identify the state-of-the-art. Frequent pitfalls in the evaluation are improper tuning of hyperparameters of the attacks, gradient obfuscation or masking. In this paper we first propose two extensions of the PGD-attack overcoming failures due to suboptimal step size and problems of the objective function. We then combine our novel attacks with two complementary existing ones to form a parameter-free, computationally affordable and user-independent ensemble of attacks to test adversarial robustness. We apply our ensemble to over 50 models from papers published at recent top machine learning and computer vision venues. In all except one of the cases we achieve lower robust test accuracy than reported in these papers, often by more than 10%, identifying several broken defenses.

尽管深层神经网络在各种任务中取得了巨大的成功，但它们对不可察觉的对抗性扰动的脆弱性阻碍了他们在现实世界中的部署。最近，与随机合奏的作品相对于经过最小的计算开销的标准对手训练（AT）模型，对对抗性训练（AT）模型的对抗性鲁棒性有了显着改善，这使它们成为安全临界资源限制应用程序的有前途解决方案。但是，这种令人印象深刻的表现提出了一个问题：这些稳健性是由随机合奏提供的吗？在这项工作中，我们从理论和经验上都解决了这个问题。从理论上讲，我们首先确定通常采用的鲁棒性评估方法（例如自适应PGD）在这种情况下提供了错误的安全感。随后，我们提出了一种理论上有效的对抗攻击算法（ARC），即使在自适应PGD无法做到这一点的情况下，也能妥协随机合奏。我们在各种网络体系结构，培训方案，数据集和规范上进行全面的实验，以支持我们的主张，并经验证明，随机合奏实际上比在模型上更容易受到$ \ ell_p $结合的对抗性扰动的影响。我们的代码可以在https://github.com/hsndbk4/arc上找到。

We identify a trade-off between robustness and accuracy that serves as a guiding principle in the design of defenses against adversarial examples. Although this problem has been widely studied empirically, much remains unknown concerning the theory underlying this trade-off. In this work, we decompose the prediction error for adversarial examples (robust error) as the sum of the natural (classification) error and boundary error, and provide a differentiable upper bound using the theory of classification-calibrated loss, which is shown to be the tightest possible upper bound uniform over all probability distributions and measurable predictors. Inspired by our theoretical analysis, we also design a new defense method, TRADES, to trade adversarial robustness off against accuracy. Our proposed algorithm performs well experimentally in real-world datasets. The methodology is the foundation of our entry to the NeurIPS 2018 Adversarial Vision Challenge in which we won the 1st place out of ~2,000 submissions, surpassing the runner-up approach by 11.41% in terms of mean 2 perturbation distance.

在测试时间进行优化的自适应防御能力有望改善对抗性鲁棒性。我们对这种自适应测试时间防御措施进行分类，解释其潜在的好处和缺点，并评估图像分类的最新自适应防御能力的代表性。不幸的是，经过我们仔细的案例研究评估时，没有任何显着改善静态防御。有些甚至削弱了基本静态模型，同时增加了推理计算。尽管这些结果令人失望，但我们仍然认为自适应测试时间防御措施是一项有希望的研究途径，因此，我们为他们的彻底评估提供了建议。我们扩展了Carlini等人的清单。（2019年）通过提供针对自适应防御的具体步骤。

The goal of a decision-based adversarial attack on a trained model is to generate adversarial examples based solely on observing output labels returned by the targeted model. We develop HopSkipJumpAttack, a family of algorithms based on a novel estimate of the gradient direction using binary information at the decision boundary. The proposed family includes both untargeted and targeted attacks optimized for 2 and ∞ similarity metrics respectively. Theoretical analysis is provided for the proposed algorithms and the gradient direction estimate. Experiments show HopSkipJumpAttack requires significantly fewer model queries than several state-of-the-art decision-based adversarial attacks. It also achieves competitive performance in attacking several widely-used defense mechanisms.

发言人识别系统（SRSS）最近被证明容易受到对抗攻击的影响，从而引发了重大的安全问题。在这项工作中，我们系统地研究了基于确保SRSS的基于对抗性训练的防御。根据SRSS的特征，我们提出了22种不同的转换，并使用扬声器识别的7种最新有前途的对抗攻击（4个白盒和3个Black-Box）对其进行了彻底评估。仔细考虑了国防评估中的最佳实践，我们分析了转换的强度以承受适应性攻击。我们还评估并理解它们与对抗训练相结合的自适应攻击的有效性。我们的研究提供了许多有用的见解和发现，其中许多与图像和语音识别域中的结论是新的或不一致的，例如，可变和恒定的比特率语音压缩具有不同的性能，并且某些不可差的转换仍然有效地抗衡。当前有希望的逃避技术通常在图像域中很好地工作。我们证明，与完整的白色盒子设置中的唯一对抗性训练相比，提出的新型功能级转换与对抗训练相比是相当有效的，例如，将准确性提高了13.62％，而攻击成本则达到了两个数量级，而其他攻击成本则增加了。转型不一定会提高整体防御能力。这项工作进一步阐明了该领域的研究方向。我们还发布了我们的评估平台SpeakerGuard，以促进进一步的研究。

This paper investigates recently proposed approaches for defending against adversarial examples and evaluating adversarial robustness. We motivate adversarial risk as an objective for achieving models robust to worst-case inputs. We then frame commonly used attacks and evaluation metrics as defining a tractable surrogate objective to the true adversarial risk. This suggests that models may optimize this surrogate rather than the true adversarial risk. We formalize this notion as obscurity to an adversary, and develop tools and heuristics for identifying obscured models and designing transparent models. We demonstrate that this is a significant problem in practice by repurposing gradient-free optimization techniques into adversarial attacks, which we use to decrease the accuracy of several recently proposed defenses to near zero. Our hope is that our formulations and results will help researchers to develop more powerful defenses.

删除攻击旨在通过略微扰动正确标记的训练示例的特征来大幅恶化学习模型的测试准确性。通过将这种恶意攻击正式地找到特定$ \ infty $ -wassersein球中的最坏情况培训数据，我们表明最小化扰动数据的对抗性风险相当于优化原始数据上的自然风险的上限。这意味着对抗性培训可以作为防止妄想攻击的原则防御。因此，通过普遍训练可以很大程度地回收测试精度。为了进一步了解国防的内部机制，我们披露了对抗性培训可以通过防止学习者过于依赖于自然环境中的非鲁棒特征来抵制妄想扰动。最后，我们将我们的理论调查结果与一系列关于流行的基准数据集进行了补充，这表明防御能够承受六种不同的实际攻击。在面对令人难以闻名的对手时，理论和经验结果投票给逆势训练。

Designing powerful adversarial attacks is of paramount importance for the evaluation of $\ell_p$-bounded adversarial defenses. Projected Gradient Descent (PGD) is one of the most effective and conceptually simple algorithms to generate such adversaries. The search space of PGD is dictated by the steepest ascent directions of an objective. Despite the plethora of objective function choices, there is no universally superior option and robustness overestimation may arise from ill-suited objective selection. Driven by this observation, we postulate that the combination of different objectives through a simple loss alternating scheme renders PGD more robust towards design choices. We experimentally verify this assertion on a synthetic-data example and by evaluating our proposed method across 25 different $\ell_{\infty}$-robust models and 3 datasets. The performance improvement is consistent, when compared to the single loss counterparts. In the CIFAR-10 dataset, our strongest adversarial attack outperforms all of the white-box components of AutoAttack (AA) ensemble, as well as the most powerful attacks existing on the literature, achieving state-of-the-art results in the computational budget of our study ($T=100$, no restarts).

We propose the Square Attack, a score-based black-box l2and l∞-adversarial attack that does not rely on local gradient information and thus is not affected by gradient masking. Square Attack is based on a randomized search scheme which selects localized squareshaped updates at random positions so that at each iteration the perturbation is situated approximately at the boundary of the feasible set. Our method is significantly more query efficient and achieves a higher success rate compared to the state-of-the-art methods, especially in the untargeted setting. In particular, on ImageNet we improve the average query efficiency in the untargeted setting for various deep networks by a factor of at least 1.8 and up to 3 compared to the recent state-ofthe-art l∞-attack of Al-Dujaili & OReilly (2020). Moreover, although our attack is black-box, it can also outperform gradient-based white-box attacks on the standard benchmarks achieving a new state-of-the-art in terms of the success rate. The code of our attack is available at https://github.com/max-andr/square-attack.

我们提出了一种新颖且有效的纯化基于纯化的普通防御方法，用于预处理盲目的白色和黑匣子攻击。我们的方法仅在一般图像上进行了自我监督学习，在计算上效率和培训，而不需要对分类模型的任何对抗训练或再培训。我们首先显示对原始图像与其对抗示例之间的残余的对抗噪声的实证分析，几乎均为对称分布。基于该观察，我们提出了一种非常简单的迭代高斯平滑（GS），其可以有效地平滑对抗性噪声并实现大大高的鲁棒精度。为了进一步改进它，我们提出了神经上下文迭代平滑（NCIS），其以自我监督的方式列举盲点网络（BSN）以重建GS也平滑的原始图像的辨别特征。从我们使用四种分类模型对大型想象成的广泛实验，我们表明我们的方法既竞争竞争标准精度和最先进的强大精度，则针对最强大的净化器 - 盲目的白色和黑匣子攻击。此外，我们提出了一种用于评估基于商业图像分类API的纯化方法的新基准，例如AWS，Azure，Clarifai和Google。我们通过基于集合转移的黑匣子攻击产生对抗性实例，这可以促进API的完全错误分类，并证明我们的方法可用于增加API的抗逆性鲁棒性。

Although deep neural networks (DNNs) have achieved great success in many tasks, they can often be fooled by adversarial examples that are generated by adding small but purposeful distortions to natural examples. Previous studies to defend against adversarial examples mostly focused on refining the DNN models, but have either shown limited success or required expensive computation. We propose a new strategy, feature squeezing, that can be used to harden DNN models by detecting adversarial examples. Feature squeezing reduces the search space available to an adversary by coalescing samples that correspond to many different feature vectors in the original space into a single sample. By comparing a DNN model's prediction on the original input with that on squeezed inputs, feature squeezing detects adversarial examples with high accuracy and few false positives.This paper explores two feature squeezing methods: reducing the color bit depth of each pixel and spatial smoothing. These simple strategies are inexpensive and complementary to other defenses, and can be combined in a joint detection framework to achieve high detection rates against state-of-the-art attacks.
