New attacks target federated GANs with label flipping and oversampling

Researchers have detailed new adversarial attacks targeting federated learning setups for Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs). These attacks involve malicious clients manipulating data by flipping labels or oversampling poisoned samples during local training. The objective is to skew the global generator's output, causing it to map target labels to incorrect classes. The study quantifies the impact using Kullback-Leibler divergence, showing that while semantic damage increases linearly with poisoning strength, deviations from the true distribution grow quadratically, making detection challenging.
