On Identifying Adversarial Intent Injection in AI-Native 6G Networks

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

The paper introduces a threat model for malicious intent injection in AI‑native 6G networks and examines four injection strategies: stealth‑mode, random distribution, increasing frequency, and decreasing frequency. It proposes a dual‑path detection framework combining a CNN with TF‑IDF features for supervised detection and an AutoEncoder trained on benign data for one‑class detection. Evaluation shows the framework achieves higher accuracy (0.97) and F1‑score (0.98) than the state‑of‑the‑art baseline.

REPLICANT: Learning Policies for Evading and Hardening Malware Detectors

The paper introduces Replicant, a deep reinforcement learning framework that learns to evade malware detectors under a strict label‑only black‑box threat model. Replicant generates reusable policies for modifying malware samples and deciding when to query the target, and it transfers across different samples, detectors, and feature spaces. In experiments on seven Android malware detectors and three feature spaces, Replicant achieves a mean attack success rate of 78.8%, outperforming state‑of‑the‑art methods by 20.9%–39.2% and providing a stronger signal for adversarial training to harden detectors.
