Protecting Against Image Translation Deepfakes by Leaking Universal Perturbations from Black-Box Neural Networks
share
In this work, we develop efficient disruptions of black-box image translation deepfake generation systems. We are the first to demonstrate black-box deepfake generation disruption by presenting image translation formulations of attacks initially proposed for classification models. Nevertheless, a naive adaptation of classification black-box attacks results in a prohibitive number of queries for image translation systems in the real-world. We present a frustratingly simple yet highly effective algorithm Leaking Universal Perturbations (LUP), that significantly reduces the number of queries needed to attack an image. LUP consists of two phases: (1) a short leaking phase where we attack the network using traditional black-box attacks and gather information on successful attacks on a small dataset and (2) and an exploitation phase where we leverage said information to subsequently attack the network with improved efficiency. Our attack reduces the total number of queries necessary to attack GANimation and StarGAN by 30
