Adversarial Trust Poisoning in Vehicular Collaborative Perception

The paper introduces TrustFlip, an attack that exploits consistency‑based defenses in vehicular collaborative perception by deploying physical adversarial objects to create inconsistent observations among benign vehicles. This misattribution lowers the trust score of a targeted vehicle, leading to its exclusion from the collaboration and a degradation of perception performance. The authors evaluate the attack across multiple architectures, showing it can remove a benign vehicle in up to 87.7% of scenarios and reduce Average Precision by up to 13%, and propose a mitigation called TrustReflect that reduces the attack success rate by 35–100%.

SPADE: SPaT Attack Detection from the Connected Vehicle's Perspective

SPADE is a labelled, multi‑modal, simulation‑based dataset for detecting attacks on Signal Phase and Timing (SPaT) messages from the perspective of connected vehicles. It contains 1.89 million timestep records generated by injecting six classes of application‑layer attacks and one benign class into the SAE J2735 SPaT protocol, across multiple intersection geometries, operating conditions, and random seeds. Each record fuses SPaT fields, onboard camera confidence scores, and cooperative V2V peer data into 40 features, enabling deep‑learning intrusion detection systems to distinguish deliberate attacks from environmental noise.

SPADE: SPaT Attack Detection from the Connected Vehicle's Perspective

The paper introduces SPADE, a labelled, multi‑modal dataset for detecting attacks on Signal Phase and Timing (SPaT) messages from the perspective of connected vehicles. Generated via Eclipse MOSAIC, SPADE includes 1.89 million timestep records across six attack classes and one benign class, combining SPaT fields, camera confidence scores, and V2V peer data over 40 features. The dataset, along with generation code and scenario configurations, is publicly released on GitHub to enable reproducible deep‑learning intrusion detection research in C‑V2X security.

Architectural Backdoors in Vision-Language Model Supply Chains via Representation Steering

arXiv:2607. 25479v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision--Language Models (VLMs) are increasingly deployed through a model supply chain in which pretrained checkpoints, architecture definitions, text encoders, and exported computation graphs are distributed by third parties and reused across downstream services.

Robust and Personalized Federated Learning for Aircraft-Engine Prognostics under Benign and Adversarial Client Heterogeneity

Federated learning (FL) enables aircraft fleet operators to jointly train remaining-useful-life (RUL) models from engine sensor telemetry without sharing raw data. This study examines two complementary challenges: benign heterogeneity, where honest operators observe different operating conditions and fault modes, and adversarial heterogeneity, where compromised operators submit poisoned updates.
