Towards Robust Protective Perturbation against DeepFake Face Swapping
This paper introduces Expectation Over Learned distribution of Transformation (EOLT), a novel framework for generating robust protective perturbations against DeepFake face swapping. By replacing the traditional uniform sampling of transformations with a learnable, optimized distribution, EOLT adaptively prioritizes critical transformations via reinforcement learning. This leads to substantial improvements in robustness against various input transformations, addressing a key limitation of existing proactive DeepFake defense mechanisms.
Executive Impact at a Glance
DeepFake technology poses significant privacy and security risks. Our EOLT framework provides a state-of-the-art proactive defense by generating perturbations that are resilient to common image transformations like compression and resizing. This innovation significantly enhances the practical deployment of anti-DeepFake measures, offering improved protection for digital content creators and individuals against sophisticated identity forgeries.

Unpacking EOT's Limitations for Robustness
Problem: Existing Expectation Over Transformation (EOT) methods assume all transformations contribute equally to robustness and are sampled uniformly. Our analysis of 30 transformations revealed this assumption is fundamentally flawed, leading to severe overfitting for some transformations and under-defense for others, particularly 'defensive bottleneck' types.
Solution: EOLT addresses this by treating the transformation distribution as a learnable component. A policy network, optimized via reinforcement learning, learns to prioritize critical transformations and generate adaptive, instance-specific perturbations. This ensures that defensive bottlenecks are explicitly covered and beneficial transformations are emphasized.
Results: This adaptive approach leads to a 26% higher average robustness, with significant gains of up to 30% on challenging transformation categories, demonstrating EOLT's superior ability to withstand diverse input distortions compared to EOT.
