Adversarial Attacks and Defense Mechanisms in Deep Neural Networks
Keywords:
adversarial examples, adversarial machine learning, deep neural networks, adversarial training, black-box attacks, poisoning, backdoors, certified robustness, model security, robustness evaluation.Abstract
Deep neural networks (DNNs) achieve high predictive accuracy but remain vulnerable to deliberately engineered inputs and training-time manipulations. This paper presents a structured review of adversarial attacks and defense mechanisms. It organizes attacks by attacker knowledge, objective, perturbation model, interaction budget, and lifecycle stage; compares gradient-based, optimization-based, transfer, query-based, universal, physical, poisoning, and backdoor attacks; and evaluates defenses spanning adversarial training, preprocessing, detection, architectural regularization, verification, and certified robustness. Particular attention is given to evaluation failure modes such as gradient masking, non-adaptive testing, weak attack configurations, and mismatched threat models. The review finds that empirical robustness is highly conditional on the assumed perturbation set and evaluation procedure, while certified methods provide stronger guarantees but at a cost in scalability and clean accuracy. Adversarial training remains the most consistently effective empirical defense for norm-bounded image perturbations, yet it does not solve poisoning, physical-world, semantic, or cross-domain threats. The paper concludes with an evaluation protocol and a set of research directions for secure DNN deployment.
