Synthetic EMG Based on Adversarial Style Transfer Can Effectively Attack Biometric-Based Personal Identification Models by Peiqi Kang, Shuo Jiang, Peter B. Shull

“…Biometric-based personal identification models are generally considered to be accurate and secure because biological signals are too complex and person-specific to be fabricated, and EMG signals, in particular, have been used as biological identification tokens due to their high dimension and non-linearity. We investigate the possibility of effectively attacking EMG-based identification models with adversarial biological input via a novel EMG signal individual-style transformer based on a generative adversarial network and tiny leaked data segments. …”
