Spiking Neural Networks Are Harder to Steal: A Benchmark Study of Model Stealing Attacks
The paper investigates whether spiking neural networks (SNNs) are more resistant to model stealing attacks than conventional artificial neural networks (ANNs). By benchmarking four common attacks on MNIST, Fashion‑MNIST, and CIFAR‑10, the authors find that SNNs consistently yield surrogates with 10%–20% lower agreement and 15%–25% lower adversarial transferability compared to ANNs. The authors attribute this resilience to the spike‑based, time‑dependent dynamics of SNNs, which make their decision boundaries harder for ANN‑based surrogates to approximate.
