检验无线信号传感模型抗攻击能力,发现简单模型更安全。
Towards Trustworthy Wi-Fi CSI-based Sensing: Systematic Evaluation of Adversarial Robustness
- 测试五种不同结构的无线信号模型在多种攻击下的表现
- 简单模型比复杂模型更抗攻击,动作识别比身份识别更易被攻破
- 加入物理限制后攻击成功率大幅下降,适合边缘部署系统设计
机器学习推动了现代无线网络中基于信道状态信息(CSI)的人体感知应用,如无设备人体活动识别(HAR)和身份识别(HID)。然而,这些模型对对抗扰动的敏感性带来了安全风险,必须在边缘部署前进行量化评估。本文系统评估了五个不同类型的CSI架构在四个公开数据集上的鲁棒性,联合分析白盒、黑盒迁移和通用攻击,以及防御策略,在无约束与物理引导的扰动边界下进行测试。实验结果表明,模型容量并不保证鲁棒性;简单架构始终表现出优于高容量序列与视觉模型的抗扰能力。此外,脆弱性具有根本的任务依赖性:HAR极易受到攻击,而HID则展现出显著的内在抗性。关键的是,施加物理信号约束可大幅降低攻击成功率,并显著增加攻击者计算负担,说明标准的无约束特征空间攻击严重夸大了实际空中传播环境下的漏洞。通过结合攻击、防御与安全度量,并严格考虑边缘硬件条件,本工作确立了可部署、物理可实现的无线感知系统的安全设计基础。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Machine learning drives Channel State Information (CSI)-based human sensing in modern wireless networks, enabling applications like device-free human activity recognition (HAR) and identification (HID). However, the susceptibility of these models to adversarial perturbations raises security concerns that must be quantified prior to edge deployment. We present a systematic robustness evaluation of five diverse CSI architectures across four public datasets, jointly analyzing white-box, black-box transfer, and universal attacks, together with defense strategies, under unconstrained and physics-guided perturbation boundaries. Contrary to prior assumptions, our experiments reveal that model capacity does not guarantee robustness; simple architectures consistently exhibit superior resilience compared to high-capacity sequence and vision models. Furthermore, vulnerability is fundamentally task-dependent, with HAR proving highly susceptible to attack, while HID demonstrates stark inherent resistance. Crucially, enforcing physical signal constraints drastically reduces attack success rates and significantly taxes attacker computation, showing that standard unconstrained feature-space attacks substantially overestimate real-world Over-The-Air vulnerabilities. By synthesizing attack, defense, and security metrics with strict edge hardware considerations, this work establishes foundational design principles for secure, deployable, and physically realizable wireless sensing systems.
