White-box backdoor attack on RFF models implemented with standard tools

Researchers have implemented a theoretical white-box backdoor attack on machine learning models that utilize Random Fourier Features (RFF). This implementation, built using standard scientific computing tools like NumPy and SciPy, tests the practical feasibility of such attacks, which are designed to be undetectable even with full access to a model's weights. The study found no detectable difference between backdoored and clean models across various sparsity ratios, contributing to the understanding of the realizability of these sophisticated cryptographic threats.
