Trojaning Attack on Neural Networks
Open accessAbstract
With the fast spread of machine learning techniques, sharing and adopting public machine learning models become very popular.This gives attackers many new opportunities.In this paper, we propose a trojaning attack on neural networks.As the models are not intuitive for human to understand, the attack features stealthiness.Deploying trojaned models can cause various severe consequences including endangering human lives (in applications like autonomous driving).We first inverse the neural network to generate a general trojan trigger, and then retrain the model with reversed engineered training data to inject malicious behaviors to the model.The malicious behaviors are only activated by inputs stamped with the trojan trigger.In our attack, we do not need to tamper with the original training process, which usually takes weeks to months.Instead, it takes minutes to hours to apply our attack.Also, we do not require the datasets that are used to train the model.In practice, the datasets are usually not shared due to privacy or copyright concerns.We use five different applications to demonstrate the power of our attack, and perform a deep analysis on the possible factors that affect the attack.The results show that our attack is highly effective and efficient.The trojaned behaviors can be successfully triggered (with nearly 100% possibility) without affecting its test accuracy for normal input and even with better accuracy on public dataset.Also, it only takes a small amount of time to attack a complex neuron network model.In the end, we also discuss possible defense against such attacks.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
