With the development of online artificial intelligence systems, many deep neural networks (DNNs) have been deployed in cloud environments. In practical applications, developers or users need to provide their private data to DNNs, such as faces. However, data transmitted and stored in the cloud is insecure and at risk of privacy leakage. In this work, inspired by Type-I adversarial attack, we propose an adversarial attack-based method to protect visual privacy of data. Specifically, the method encrypts the visual information of private data while maintaining them correctly predicted by DNNs, without modifying the model parameters. The empirical results on face recognition tasks show that the proposed method can deeply hide the visual information in face images and hardly affect the accuracy of the recognition models. In addition, we further extend the method to classification tasks and also achieve state-of-the-art performance.
