用环境特征做触发,悄悄在联邦视频检测中植入后门

STAIN-FL: Stealthy Targeted Attack Injection with Contextual Triggers in Federated Learning

  • 用光照、室内、人多等自然场景当触发信号,隐蔽注入攻击
  • 攻击后干净准确率下降不足2%,但触发时异常识别错误率超50%
  • 适合研究安全防御的人员关注,尤其警惕低频但持续的隐蔽攻击

联邦视频异常检测通过协作训练模型而不共享原始监控画面,但服务器端可视性有限,使被攻陷客户端可通过恶意更新注入后门。本文提出STAIN-FL框架,利用低光、室内环境和人群密度等自然出现的监控条件作为上下文触发器。该方法结合异常到正常标签的篡改与对更新最少坐标梯度掩码,在保持干净准确率的同时诱导触发条件下的误分类。我们在使用1024维I3D特征的非独立同分布四客户端多机构设置下,对UCF-Crime数据集评估了FedAvg与FedProx算法中的稀疏攻击与连续攻击。结果显示,稀疏攻击具有较低可检测性且更具实际威胁:平均干净准确率下降低于2%,却在峰值后门准确率下使超过一半触发异常被错误分类(FedAvg为56.7%,FedProx为54.2%)。在FedAvg下,后门准确率高于25%的平均持续336轮,凸显上下文触发攻击在监控系统中的持久风险。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Federated video anomaly detection trains model collaboratively without sharing raw surveillance footage, but limited server-side visibility lets compromised clients to inject backdoor via malicious updates. This paper introduces STAIN-FL, a stealthy targeted backdoor attack injection framework that uses naturally occurring surveillance conditions, including low-light scenes, indoor settings, and crowd density, as contextual triggers. STAIN-FL combines anomaly-to-benign label \textit{manipulation} with gradient masking over least-updated coordinates to preserve clean accuracy while inducing trigger-conditioned misclassification. We evaluate STAIN-FL on \texttt{UCF-Crime} using 1024-dimensional I3D features in a non-IID four-client multi-agency setting, comparing FedAvg and FedProx under sparse and continuous attacks. Results show that sparse attacks have low-detectability, operationally significant attacks rather than high-intensity attacks: they keep the mean clean-accuracy drop below $2\%$, yet still misclassify more than half of triggered anomalies at peak backdoor accuracy under FedAvg ($56.7\%$) and FedProx ($54.2\%$). Under FedAvg, the sparse backdoor remains above the $25\%$ backdoor-accuracy threshold for an average of $336$ post-attack rounds, highlighting the persistence risk of contextually triggered attacks in surveillance systems.
