SpotOn: Adversarially Robust Keyword Spotting on Resource-Constrained IoT Platforms

IoT devices (e.g., voice assistants) that execute real-time speech commands are proliferating fast in our daily lives. In such a device, detecting the correct keyword spoken as a command triggers the supported function, and hence keyword spotting (KWS) using a machine learning (ML) model is the pivotal task in their functioning. However, KWS is vulnerable to adversarial machine learning (AML)-based attacks through which an adversary can craft an adversarial…

SPAT: Semantic-Preserving Adversarial Transformation for Perceptually Similar Adversarial Examples

Machine Learning(ML) models are vulnerable to adversarial machine learning(AML) attacks, which generate adversarial examples by adding well-crafted perturbations to the benign examples. If the perturbations are added without considering the semantic correctness, the attack can be easily detected. We introduce SPAT, a unified framework that transforms conventional AML attacks into semantic-preserving versions while maintaining a comparable attack success rate.

PANDA: Practical Adversarial Attacks Against Intrusion Detection Applications

While adversarial machine learning (AML) attacks have become prevalent in the computer vision (CV) domain, their applications in other domains, such as network intrusion detection systems (NIDS), remain limited. This gap stems from the lack of a well-defined input space in non-image domains, hindering the generation of adversarial examples. Unlike CV problems, where the input space is the feature space, other domains generally lack a precise inverse mapping from the feature space to the problem …

Practical Attestation for Edge Devices Running Compute Heavy Machine Learning Applications

Machine Learning (EdgeML) algorithms on edge devices facilitate safety-critical applications like building security management and smart city interventions. However, their wired/wireless connections with the Internet make such platforms vulnerable to attacks compromising the embedded software. In this paper, we present PracAttest, a practical runtime attestation framework for embedded devices running compute-heavy EdgeML applications. Unlike the conventional remote attestation…
