Generalized Attacks on Face Verification Systems
Face verification (FV) using deep neural network models has made tremendous progress in recent years, surpassing human accuracy and seeing deployment in various applications such as border control and smartphone unlocking. However, FV systems are vulnerable to Adversarial Attacks, which manipulate input images to deceive these systems in ways usually unnoticeable to humans. This paper provides an in-depth study of attacks on FV systems. We introduce the DodgePersonation Attack that formulates the creation of face images that impersonate a set of given identities while avoiding being identified as any of the identities in a separate, disjoint set. A taxonomy is proposed to provide a unified view of different types of Adversarial Attacks against FV systems, including Dodging Attacks, Impersonation Attacks, and Master Face Attacks. Finally, we propose the ”One Face to Rule Them All” Attack which implements the DodgePersonation Attack with state-of-the-art performance on a well-known scenario (Master Face Attack) and which can also be used for the new scenarios introduced in this paper. While the state-of-the-art Master Face Attack can produce a set of 9 images to cover 43.82 database, with 9 images our attack can cover 57.27 identifies while giving the attacker the choice of the identity to use to create the impersonation. Moreover, the 9 generated attack images appear identical to a casual observer.
