Diffusion Models For Stronger Face Morphing Attacks
Authors:Zander Blasingame, Chen Liu
Face morphing attacks seek to deceive a Face Recognition (FR) system by presenting a morphed image consisting of the biometric qualities from two different identities with the aim of triggering a false acceptance with one of the two identities, thereby presenting a significant threat to biometric systems. The success of a morphing attack is dependent on the ability of the morphed image to represent the biometric characteristics of both identities that were used to create the image. We present a novel morphing attack that uses a Diffusion-based architecture to improve the visual fidelity of the image and improve the ability of the morphing attack to represent characteristics from both identities. We demonstrate the high fidelity of the proposed attack by evaluating its visual fidelity via the Frechet Inception Distance. Extensive experiments are conducted to measure the vulnerability of FR systems to the proposed attack. The proposed attack is compared to two state-of-the-art GAN-based morphing attacks along with two Landmark-based attacks. The ability of a morphing attack detector to detect the proposed attack is measured and compared against the other attacks. Additionally, a novel metric to measure the relative strength between morphing attacks is introduced and evaluated.

Despite continued advancement in recent years, deep neural networks still rely on large amounts of training data to avoid overfitting. However, labeled training data for real-world applications such as healthcare is limited and difficult to access given longstanding privacy, and strict data sharing policies. By manipulating image datasets in the pixel or feature space, existing data augmentation techniques represent one of the effective ways to improve the quantity and diversity of training data. Here, we look to advance augmentation techniques by building upon the emerging success of text-to-image diffusion probabilistic models in augmenting the training samples of our macroscopic skin disease dataset. We do so by enabling fine-grained control of the image generation process via input text prompts. We demonstrate that this generative data augmentation approach successfully maintains a similar classification accuracy of the visual classifier even when trained on a fully synthetic skin disease dataset. Similar to recent applications of generative models, our study suggests that diffusion models are indeed effective in generating high-quality skin images that do not sacrifice the classifier performance, and can improve the augmentation of training datasets after curation.
