Abstract:In the last years, Deep Learning technology has been proposed in different fields, bringing many advances in each of them, but identifying new threats in these solutions regarding cybersecurity. Those implemented models have brought several vulnerabilities associated with Deep Learning technology. Moreover, those allow taking advantage of the implemented model, obtaining private information, and even modifying the model's decision-making. Therefore, interest in studying those vulnerabilities/attacks and designing defenses to avoid or fight them is gaining prominence among researchers. In particular, the widely known evasion attack is being analyzed by researchers; thus, several defenses to avoid such a threat can be found in the literature. Since the presentation of the L-BFG algorithm, this threat concerns the research community. However, it continues developing new and ingenious countermeasures since there is no perfect defense for all the known evasion algorithms. In this work, a novel detector of evasion attacks is developed. It focuses on the information of the activations of the neurons given by the model when an input sample is injected. Moreover, it puts attention to the topology of the targeted deep learning model to analyze the activations according to which neurons are connecting. This approach has been decided because the literature shows that the targeted model's topology contains essential information about if the evasion attack occurs. For this purpose, a huge data preprocessing is required to introduce all this information in the detector, which uses the Graph Convolutional Neural Network (GCN) technology. Thus, it understands the topology of the target model, obtaining promising results and improving the outcomes presented in the literature related to similar defenses.
