Robust Backdoor Watermarking for Traceable Ownership Protection of Diffusion Models
Belangrijkste concepten
A novel backdoor-based method is proposed to embed a robust identifier in diffusion models, enabling traceable ownership protection even after fine-tuning on downstream generation tasks.
Samenvatting
The key insights and contributions of this work are:
-
Observations on fine-tuning diffusion models reveal that only a few "busy" layers undergo significant parameter changes, while the majority of "lazy" layers remain relatively unchanged. This motivates the idea of embedding the backdoor identifier into the lazy layers to improve robustness against fine-tuning-based removal.
-
An arbitrary-in-arbitrary-out (AIAO) strategy is proposed to dynamically select layers for backdoor embedding, addressing the challenge of unpredictable busy layers in real-world scenarios.
-
A mask-controlled trigger function is introduced to embed the backdoor into the feature space of diffusion models, preserving generation performance and ensuring the invisibility of the embedded identifier.
-
Extensive experiments on various datasets confirm the robustness of the proposed method, where the verification rates remain consistently above 90% even after fine-tuning, outperforming existing backdoor-based methods.

How can the proposed method be extended to protect the ownership of other types of generative models beyond diffusion models?
The proposed method can be extended to protect the ownership of other types of generative models by adapting the concept of embedding backdoors into lazy layers and using a mask-controlled trigger function. Here are some ways to extend the method:
Transfer Learning: The method can be applied to various types of generative models, such as GANs, VAEs, or autoregressive models, by identifying the equivalent of "busy" and "lazy" layers in these models. By embedding the backdoor in the less volatile layers, the ownership protection can be extended to different architectures.
Customized Trigger-Response Pairs: The trigger and response functions can be customized based on the specific characteristics of different generative models. For example, in GANs, the trigger could be related to the noise input, while in autoregressive models, it could be related to the input sequence.
Fine-Tuning Strategies: The method can be adapted to different fine-tuning strategies commonly used in generative models. By understanding how different architectures adapt to new data, the backdoor embedding process can be optimized for each type of model.
Integration with Existing Security Measures: The method can be integrated with existing security measures specific to each type of generative model. For example, in VAEs, additional constraints on the latent space could be incorporated to enhance ownership protection.
How can the proposed traceable ownership protection mechanism be integrated with other safety and security measures for generative models?
The proposed traceable ownership protection mechanism can be integrated with other safety and security measures for generative models to create a comprehensive framework for responsible AI development. Here are some ways to integrate it:
Model Monitoring: The ownership protection mechanism can be integrated with model monitoring tools to track the usage of generative models in real-time. This can help detect any unauthorized or malicious activities and ensure compliance with ownership rights.
Data Privacy Measures: By incorporating data privacy measures such as differential privacy or data anonymization techniques, the ownership protection mechanism can ensure that sensitive information is not compromised during model training or inference.
Adversarial Robustness: Integrating the ownership protection mechanism with adversarial robustness techniques can enhance the model's resilience against adversarial attacks, ensuring that the backdoor remains intact even in the presence of malicious inputs.
Compliance and Governance: The ownership protection mechanism can be integrated into compliance and governance frameworks to ensure that generative models adhere to legal and ethical standards. This can include audit trails, transparency measures, and accountability mechanisms.
Collaborative Security: Collaborating with cybersecurity experts and researchers can help identify potential vulnerabilities in the ownership protection mechanism and implement robust security measures to mitigate risks effectively.
By integrating the traceable ownership protection mechanism with these safety and security measures, generative models can be developed and deployed in a responsible and secure manner, safeguarding intellectual property rights and ensuring ethical use of AI technologies.
