A Deep Ensemble-based Wireless Receiver Architecture for Mitigating Adversarial Attacks in Automatic Modulation Classification

Deep learning-based automatic modulation classification (AMC) models are susceptible to adversarial attacks. Such attacks inject specifically crafted wireless interference into transmitted signals to induce erroneous classification predictions. Furthermore, adversarial interference is transferable in black box environments, allowing an adversary to attack multiple deep learning models with a single perturbation crafted for a particular classification model. In this work, we propose a novel wireless receiver architecture to mitigate the effects of adversarial interference in various black box attack environments. Read more.
