Study Notes

AISEC 2017 introduced the concept of ZOO (Zeroth Order Optimization) based Black-box Attacks to Deep Neural Networks without Training Substitute Models.
ZOO Attack Challenge: Each iteration of ZOO requires 2𝑛 queries on the model, making it impractical due to the high number of required queries for successful attacks.
ZOO Attack Strategy 1: Stochastic Coordinate Descent Approach involves selecting a random feature to optimize in each iteration, leading to faster convergence.
ZOO Attack Strategy 2: Hierarchical Attack Approach involves attacking groups of coordinates together and gradually decreasing the group size to increase resolution as the loss converges.
Transferability in attacks is influenced by the 𝝐 budget, with larger perturbations improving transferability, especially in maximum-confidence attacks.
Increasing Transferability Approaches include generating samples using a more generic model, utilizing the entire epsilon budget, and generating samples with better transfer diversity through surrogate diversity and input diversity.
Estimating Gradients is crucial in black-box attacks since there is no access to the model's parameters, requiring the estimation of gradients to perform attacks effectively.
