Only My Model On My Data: A Privacy Preserving Approach Protecting one Model and Deceiving Unauthorized Black-Box Models

원문 초록

Deep neural networks are extensively applied to real-world tasks, such as face recognition and medical image classification, where privacy and data protection are critical. Image data, if not protected, can be exploited to infer personal or contextual information. Existing privacy preservation methods, like encryption, generate perturbed images that are unrecognizable to even humans. Adversarial attack approaches prohibit automated inference even for authorized stakeholders, limiting practical incentives for commercial and widespread adaptation. This pioneering study tackles an unexplored practical privacy preservation use case by generating human-perceivable images that maintain accurate inference by an authorized model while evading other unauthorized black-box models of similar or dissimilar objectives, and addresses the previous research gaps. The datasets employed are ImageNet, for image classification, Celeba-HQ dataset, for identity classification, and AffectNet, for emotion classification. Our results show that the generated images can successfully maintain the accuracy of a protected model and degrade the average accuracy of the unauthorized black-box models to 11.97%, 6.63%, and 55.51% on ImageNet, Celeba-HQ, and AffectNet datasets, respectively.
