Abstract:

Aiming at the problem of restricted access failure in current black box membership inference attacks, a PCA-based membership inference attack was proposed.Firstly, in order to solve the restricted access problem of black box membership inference attacks, a fast decision membership inference attack named fast-attack was proposed.Based on the perturbation samples obtained by the distance symbol gradient, the perturbation difficulty was mapped to the distance category for membership inference.Secondly, in view of the low mobility problem of fast-attack, a PCA-based membership inference attack was proposed.Combining the algorithmic ideas based on the perturbation category in the fast-attack and the PCA technology to suppress the low-migration behavior caused by excessive reliance on the model.Finally, experiments show that fast-attack reduces the access cost while ensuring the accuracy of the attack.PCA-based attack is superior to the baseline attack under the unsupervised setting, and the migration rate of model is increased by 10% compared to fast-attack.
