Abstract

The rise of deep learning has led to rapid advances in multimedia forensics. Algorithms based on deep neural networks are able to automatically learn forensic traces, detect complex forgeries, and localize falsified content with increasingly greater accuracy. At the same time, deep learning has expanded the capabilities of anti-forensic attackers. New anti-forensic attacks have emerged, including those discussed in Chap. 14 based on adversarial examples, and those based on generative adversarial networks (GANs). In this chapter, we discuss the emerging threat posed by GAN-based anti-forensic attacks. GANs are a powerful machine learning framework that can be used to create realistic, but completely synthetic data. Researchers have recently shown that anti-forensic attacks can be built by using GANs to create synthetic forensic traces. While only a small number of GAN-based anti-forensic attacks currently exist, results show these early attacks are both effective at fooling forensic algorithms and introduce very little distortion into attacked images.
