Transferability Attacks Sample Clauses

Transferability Attacks. In transferability attacks, attackers construct substitute models that are approximations of the oracle, as detailed in Section 2.2.5.2. Adversarial examples are then generated for these substitute models in anticipation that they will transfer to the oracle [87, 157, 160, 207, 181, 36, 131]. To evaluate MTDs against transferability attacks, we use practical strategies from prior work as well as our own novel ones. Attack strategies from prior work are included as baselines and to show MTDs’ performance with already existing, general strategies that are not tailored to MTDs. These include the strategies discussed in Section 2.4.2; namely the Single DNN strategy [157], where a single DNN is used as the substitute model [157, 181, 36], and the Ensemble DNN strategy [131], where several ▇▇▇▇ are used as the substitute models. Additionally, we propose a novel attack strategy that specifically considers that the target model may be an MTD. Even if, per our threat model, attackers do not know the target model is an MTD, we can try this attack strategy to achieve maximal evasion against such target models, nonetheless. With our transferability attack strategy, we present two main improvements over previous strategies, with an overview of the key steps provided in figure 4.1. first, our strategy utilizes an ensemble of diverse substitute models (including different ML families). Second, as a novel technique to increase attack success against MTDs, our attack strategy aims to maximize the transferability of adversarial examples across substitute models prior to evaluating them on the oracle by checking transferability across (part of) the substitute models. We include these two additions because MTDs may change the model used for predictions dynamically, and so ensuring a degree of transferability of adversarial examples between diverse substitute models maximizes success on the oracle, as we confirm later on experimentally. We next describe each of the key steps of our strategy in detail.

Related to Transferability Attacks

  • Transferability This Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless the Holder has assigned this Warrant in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the Holder delivers an assignment form to the Company assigning this Warrant in full. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.

  • Nontransferability The Option shall not be transferable other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. During the lifetime of the Optionee, the Option shall be exercisable only by the Optionee.

  • Non-Transferability Benefits under this Agreement cannot be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, attached or encumbered in any manner.

  • Transferability of Options During the lifetime of an Optionee, only such Optionee (or, in the event of legal incapacity or incompetency, the Optionee’s guardian or legal representative) may exercise the Option. No Option shall be assignable or transferable by the Optionee to whom it is granted, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

  • Restriction on Transferability Prior to vesting and delivery of the Shares, neither the mPRSUs, nor the Shares or any beneficial interest therein, may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated at any time. Any attempt to do so contrary to the provisions hereof shall be null and void. Notwithstanding the above, distribution can be made pursuant to will, the laws of descent and distribution, and if provided by the Administrator, intra-family transfer instruments, or to an inter vivos trust, or as otherwise provided by the Administrator. The terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the Participant.
