Abstract

Outsourced training and crowdsourced datasets lead to a new threat for deep learning models: the backdoor attack. In this attack, the adversary inserts a secret functionality in a model, activated through malicious inputs. Backdoor attacks represent an active research area due to diverse settings where they represent a real threat. Still, there is no framework to evaluate existing attacks and defenses in different domains. Only a few toolboxes have been implemented, but most of them focus on computer vision and are difficult to use. To bridge this gap, we implement Backdoor Pony, a framework for evaluating attacks and defenses in different domains through a user-friendly GUI.
