MorphStrata: Layer-Specific Perturbations for Generating Morphence Students in Time-Series Moving Target Defense
arXiv:2606.17435v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Time-series forecasting models remain vulnerable to gradient-based adversarial attacks while existing defense mechanisms typically incur a trade-off in robustness for bounded response and compute cost. The problem is pronounced in Moving Target Defense where maintaining multiple randomized model instances substantially exacerbates the training overhead. In this work, we introduce MorphStrata, a student generation strategy with selective, layer-specific stochastic noise injection that extends the traditional Morphence defense. MorphStrata uses a T
The increasing sophistication of AI models and adversarial attacks necessitates more robust defense mechanisms, particularly in real-time decision-making systems like Moving Target Defense.
This work directly addresses the vulnerability of AI systems to gradient-based attacks, which is critical for securing autonomous and mission-critical applications.
The introduction of MorphStrata offers a new approach to improving the resilience of time-series forecasting models against adversarial attacks without incurring excessive computational overhead.
