Evaluating the risk level of adversarial images is essential for safely
deploying face authentication models in the real world. Popular approaches for
physical-world attacks, such as print or replay attacks, suffer from some
limitations, like including physical and geometrical artifacts. Recently,
adversarial attacks have gained attraction, which try to digitally deceive the
learning strategy of a recognition system using slight modifications to the
captured image. While most previous research assumes that the adversarial image
could be digitally fed into the authentication systems, this is not always the
case for systems deployed in the real world. This paper demonstrates the
vulnerability of face authentication systems to adversarial images in physical
world scenarios. We propose AdvGen, an automated Generative Adversarial
Network, to simulate print and replay attacks and generate adversarial images
that can fool state-of-the-art PADs in a physical domain attack setting. Using
this attack strategy, the attack success rate goes up to 82.01%. We test AdvGen
extensively on four datasets and ten state-of-the-art PADs. We also demonstrate
the effectiveness of our attack by conducting experiments in a realistic,
physical environment.
