Über diesen Titel

 In this lesson, you’ll learn about:
  • The difference between white-box and black-box threat models in machine learning security
  • Why gradient-based models are vulnerable to carefully crafted input perturbations
  • The core intuition behind the Fast Gradient Sign Method (FGSM) as a sensitivity-analysis technique
  • How adversarial perturbations exploit a model’s local linearity and gradient structure
  • The purpose of adversarial ML frameworks like Foolbox in controlled research environments
  • How pretrained architectures such as ResNet are evaluated for robustness
  • Why datasets like MNIST are commonly used for benchmarking security experiments
  • The security risks of exposing prediction APIs in black-box services
  • Why production ML systems must assume adversarial interaction
Defensive Takeaways for ML Engineers Rather than attacking models in the wild, security teams use adversarial research to:
  • Measure model robustness before deployment
  • Implement adversarial training to improve resilience
  • Apply input preprocessing defenses and anomaly detection
  • Limit prediction confidence exposure in public APIs
  • Monitor query patterns to detect probing behavior
  • Use ensemble methods and hybrid ML + rule-based detection systems
Why This Matters: Adversarial machine learning highlights that high accuracy ≠ high security.
Models that perform well on clean data may fail under minimal, human-imperceptible perturbations. Robustness must be treated as a first-class engineering requirement, especially in:
  • Autonomous systems
  • Biometric authentication
  • Malware detection
  • Financial fraud systems
