Summary
Machine learning (ML), which can be defined as the ability for machines to learn from data to solve a task without being explicitly programmed to do so, is currently the most developed and promising subfield of Al for industries and government infrastructures.
The widespread adoption and rapid development of ML algorithms have raised concerns about their security. The security of machine learning algorithms primarily involves two aspects: data security and model security. In terms of data security, it encompasses privacy protection and defense against data tampering. For privacy protection, techniques such as data anonymization, differential privacy, and encryption can be employed to safeguard sensitive data. Regarding defense against data tampering, measures need to be taken to prevent malicious attacks on training data, ensuring the accuracy and trustworthiness of the model. Model security entails attacks on and defenses against the model. Attacks on the model may involve adversarial samples, model reverse engineering, poisoning attacks, and more. To enhance the security of machine learning algorithms, a range of defense mechanisms including adversarial training, model patching, and monitoring need to be implemented to mitigate potential attack risks.
