Abstract
With the boom of edge intelligence, its vulnerability to adversarial attacks
becomes an urgent problem. The so-called adversarial example can fool a deep
learning model on the edge node to misclassify. Due to the property of
transferability, the adversary can easily make a black-box attack using a local
substitute model. Nevertheless, the limitation of resource of edge nodes cannot
afford a complicated defense mechanism as doing on the cloud data center. To
overcome the challenge, we propose a dynamic defense mechanism, namely EI-MTD.
It first obtains robust member models with small size through differential
knowledge distillation from a complicated teacher model on the cloud data
center. Then, a dynamic scheduling policy based on a Bayesian Stackelberg game
is applied to the choice of a target model for service. This dynamic defense
can prohibit the adversary from selecting an optimal substitute model for
black-box attacks. Our experimental result shows that this dynamic scheduling
can effectively protect edge intelligence against adversarial attacks under the
black-box setting.
