Descripción
Sumario:Membership inference attacks (MIAs) are a class of attacks that seek to extract sensitive information from a model's training dataset by analyzing the model's outputs and potentially revealing real records used during training. The scope of this thesis is to study, design, and implement a membership inference attack on a trajectory generator model. This includes a comprehensive review of the state of the art, describing the most prominent approaches related to MIA and mathematically formalizing the problem statement. We then provide two attack architectures under different assumptions by adapting and combining accepted solutions for trajectory data. Next, we evaluate the proposed architectures based on how well they infer real records and how they respond when the target model protects the training records with differential privacy mechanisms. Finally, we present a set of conclusions and potential directions for future research.
