In this chapter, we explore data poisoning attacks and their defenses in local differential privacy (LDP)-based crowdsensing systems. First, we design attacks where compromised workers intentionally alter their reported data to skew the crowdsensing outcomes. These attacks are modeled as a bi-level optimization problem in which attackers carefully leverage the noise introduced by LDP to camouflage their malicious activities, making them undetectable even by weight-based truth discovery methods. Subsequently, we introduce the corresponding defenses, formulated as a minimization problem, with the goal of reducing the impact of these attacks by pinpointing and excluding the corrupted workers. Comprehensive experiments on real-world datasets validate that LDP noise can indeed enhance the effectiveness of data poisoning attacks, while our proposed defenses are capable of accurately identifying and mitigating the disguised malicious behavior.

摘要

In this chapter, we explore data poisoning attacks and their defenses in local differential privacy (LDP)-based crowdsensing systems. First, we design attacks where compromised workers intentionally alter their reported data to skew the crowdsensing outcomes. These attacks are modeled as a bi-level optimization problem in which attackers carefully leverage the noise introduced by LDP to camouflage their malicious activities, making them undetectable even by weight-based truth discovery methods. Subsequently, we introduce the corresponding defenses, formulated as a minimization problem, with the goal of reducing the impact of these attacks by pinpointing and excluding the corrupted workers. Comprehensive experiments on real-world datasets validate that LDP noise can indeed enhance the effectiveness of data poisoning attacks, while our proposed defenses are capable of accurately identifying and mitigating the disguised malicious behavior.
