Stateful Detection of Black-Box Adversarial Attacks

Steven Chen, Nicholas Carlini, David Wagner

The problem of adversarial examples, evasion attacks on machine learning classifiers, has proven extremely difficult to solve. This is true even when, as is the case in many practi…

Obfuscated Gradients Give a False Sense of Security: Circumventing Defenses to Adversarial Examples

Anish Athalye, Nicholas Carlini, David Wagner

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…

Audio Adversarial Examples: Targeted Attacks on Speech-to-Text

Nicholas Carlini, David Wagner

We construct targeted audio adversarial examples on automatic speech recognition. Given any audio waveform, we can produce another that is over 99.9% similar, but transcribes as an…

MagNet and "Efficient Defenses Against Adversarial Attacks" are Not Robust to Adversarial Examples

Nicholas Carlini, David Wagner

MagNet and "Efficient Defenses..." were recently proposed as a defense to adversarial examples. We find that we can construct adversarial examples that defeat these defenses with o…

Adversarial Examples Are Not Easily Detected: Bypassing Ten Detection Methods

Nicholas Carlini, David Wagner

Neural networks are known to be vulnerable to adversarial examples: inputs that are close to natural inputs but classified incorrectly. In order to better understand the space of a…

Towards Evaluating the Robustness of Neural Networks

Nicholas Carlini, David Wagner

Neural networks provide state-of-the-art results for most machine learning tasks. Unfortunately, neural networks are vulnerable to adversarial examples: given an input and any…

Defensive Distillation is Not Robust to Adversarial Examples

Nicholas Carlini, David Wagner

We show that defensive distillation is not secure: it is no more resistant to targeted misclassification attacks than unprotected neural networks.
