DiffAttack: Evasion Attacks Against Face Recognition via Latent Diffusion Models
Quick summary
arXiv:2607.28936v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Facial biometric identification relies on the distinctiveness of user attributes within a high-dimensional embedding space. However, the decision boundaries of deep face recognition (FR) systems are often sufficiently narrow that they can be conflated, rendering the models vulnerable to adversarial attacks. In such scenarios, the FR system fails to distinguish between an authentic source and a meticulously crafted adversarial face. Existing adversarial methods targeting facial biometrics are limited in both performance and their ability to gene
