Transferability of Adversarial Examples to Attack Cloud-based Image Classifier Service

Presented at DEF CON China 1.0 (2019), May 31, 2019, 11 a.m. (45 minutes).

In recent years, Deep Learning(DL) techniques have been extensively deployed for computer vision tasks, particularly visual classification problems, where new algorithms reported to achieve or even surpass the human performance . While many recent works demonstrated that DL models are vulnerable to adversarial examples.Fortunately, generating adversarial examples usually requires white-box access to the victim model, and real-world cloud-based image classifier services are more complex than white-box classification and the architecture and parameters of DL models on cloud platforms cannot be obtained by the attacker. The attacker can only access the APIs opened by cloud platforms. Thus, keeping models in the cloud can usually give a (false) sense of security.In this paper, we mainly focus on studying the security of real-world cloud-based image classifier services. Specifically, (1) We propose a novel attack methods, Fast Featuremap Loss PGD (FFL-PGD) attack based on Substitution model ,which achieve a high bypass rate with a very limited number of queries. Instead of millions of queries in previous studies, our methods find the adversarial examples using only two queries per image ; and (2) we make the first attempt to conduct an extensive empirical study of black-box attacks against real-world cloud-based classifier services. Through evaluations on four popular cloud platforms including Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Clarifai, we demonstrate that Spatial Transformation (ST) attack has a success rate of approximately 100% except Amazon approximately 50%, FFL-PGD attack have a success rate over 90% among different classifier services.
