Black-box Membership Inference Attacks against Fine-tuned Diffusion Models

With the rapid advancement of diffusion-based image-generative models, the quality of generated images has become increasingly photorealistic.Moreover, with the release of high-quality pre-trained image-generative models, a growing number of users are downloading these pre-trained models to fine-tune them with downstream datasets for various imagegeneration tasks.However, employing such powerful pre-trained models in downstream tasks presents significant privacy leakage risks.In this paper, we propose the first scores-based membership inference attack framework tailored for recent diffusion models, and in the more stringent black-box access setting.Considering four distinct attack scenarios and three types of attacks, this framework is capable of targeting any popular conditional generator model, achieving high precision, evidenced by an impressive AUC of 0.95.Our code is accessible at https://github.com/py85252876/Reconstruction-based-Attack.

Abstract

With the rapid advancement of diffusion-based image-generative models, the quality of generated images has become increasingly photorealistic.Moreover, with the release of high-quality pre-trained image-generative models, a growing number of users are downloading these pre-trained models to fine-tune them with downstream datasets for various imagegeneration tasks.However, employing such powerful pre-trained models in downstream tasks presents significant privacy leakage risks.In this paper, we propose the first scores-based membership inference attack framework tailored for recent diffusion models, and in the more stringent black-box access setting.Considering four distinct attack scenarios and three types of attacks, this framework is capable of targeting any popular conditional generator model, achieving high precision, evidenced by an impressive AUC of 0.95.Our code is accessible at https://github.com/py85252876/Reconstruction-based-Attack.
