提出新方法检测语音模型后门攻击,准确率超97%。
STEP: Detecting Audio Backdoor Attacks via Stability-based Trigger Exposure Profiling
- 通过双重扰动分析触发器的异常稳定性与脆弱性
- 在7种攻击下平均AUC达97.92%,误报率仅4.54%
- 无需重训练,适用于多种语音任务和真实场景
深度学习语音模型在安全关键应用中广泛部署,后门攻击成为严重威胁:攻击者只需污染少量训练数据,即可植入隐藏触发器,控制模型输出而保持对干净输入的正常行为。现有推理阶段防御方法不适用于音频领域,或依赖触发器过度鲁棒的假设(在基于变换和语义的触发器上失效),或依赖图像/文本特有的属性。本文提出STEP(基于稳定性的触发器暴露分析),一种黑盒、无需重训练的后门检测方法,仅需硬标签访问。其核心思想是利用后门触发器的双重异常特性:在语义破坏扰动下标签异常稳定,在语义保持扰动下标签异常脆弱。STEP通过两个互补的扰动分支分别探测这两类特性,使用在良性样本上训练的一类异常检测器评分,再通过无监督加权融合两个分数。在七种后门攻击上的大量实验表明,STEP平均AUROC达97.92%,EER为4.54%,显著优于现有最优基线,并在模型架构、语音任务、开集验证场景及真实物理环境(过空气)下具有良好泛化能力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
With the widespread deployment of deep-learning-based speech models in security-critical applications, backdoor attacks have emerged as a serious threat: an adversary who poisons a small fraction of training data can implant a hidden trigger that controls the model's output while preserving normal behavior on clean inputs. Existing inference-time defenses are not well suited to the audio domain, as they either rely on trigger over-robustness assumptions that fail on transformation-based and semantic triggers, or depend on properties specific to image or text modalities. In this paper, we propose STEP (Stability-based Trigger Exposure Profiling), a black-box, retraining-free backdoor detector that operates under hard-label-only access. Its core idea is to exploit a characteristic dual anomaly of backdoor triggers: anomalous label stability under semantic-breaking perturbations, and anomalous label fragility under semantic-preserving perturbations. STEP profiles each test sample with two complementary perturbation branches that target these two properties respectively, scores the resulting stability features with one-class anomaly detectors trained on benign references, and fuses the two scores via unsupervised weighting. Extensive experiments across seven backdoor attacks show that STEP achieves an average AUROC of 97.92% and EER of 4.54%, substantially outperforming state-of-the-art baselines, and generalizes across model architectures, speech tasks, an open-set verification scenario, and over-the-air physical-world settings.
