Security and Robustness of Deep Learning in Wireless Communication Systems

This repository is a research oriented-repository dedicated to the Security and robustness of deep learning for wireless communication systems.

The main idea is to release the code of our papers in a very friendly manner such that it cultivates and accelerates further research on this topic. The codes are released in a series of Jupyter notebooks, which are developed with a how to do it in a step-by-step approach. We also provide a research library dedicated to the latest works on this topic.

If you have any comments, please contact me via m(dot)sadeghee(at)gmail(dot)com.

I hope you enjoy it and good luck with your research.

1. Our Works and Our Codes

1.1. Physical Adversarial Attacks Against End-to-End Autoencoder Communication Systems

• The paper is available at [Paper]
• The main code is available at [Code]
• We also have done some extra simulations considering some variations of the set-up we used in our paper. These variations are:
  • Considering other information rates [Code]
  • Using ReLU instead of eLU and also deeper networks [Code]
  • Averaging over different models rather than using one single model [Code]
• About the work: This work is a follow up of our previous work which presents two new directions. First, it presents the concept of physical attacks in wireless communication systems. Second, it introduces adversarial attacks against end-t-end autoencoder systems.

1.2. Adversarial Attacks on Deep-Learning Based Radio Signal Classification

• The paper is available at [Paper]

• The code is available at [code]

• About the work: This work establishes the concept of adversarial attacks in wireless systems. It shows that DL based wireless applications can be very vulnerable to this new kind of threat. We establish the main concepts, explain how to formulate and also adapt this new concept in the context of wireless systems, and present some novel algorithms for crafting white-box and also black-box attacks.
