TL;DR: We present the first method to create controllable and morphable 3D master faces, improving effectiveness and flexibility in attacking both 2D and 3D face recognition systems.
Abstract: Biometric authentication systems are facing increasing threats from Artificial Intelligence-Generated Content (AIGC). Previous research has revealed the vulnerability of face authentication systems against master face attacks. These attacks utilize generative models to create facial samples capable of matching multiple registered user templates in the database. In this paper, we present a systematic approach for generating master faces that can compromise both 2D and 3D face recognition systems. Notably, our approach is the first to enable morphable and controllable master face attacks on face authentication systems. Our method generates these 3D master faces using the Latent Variable Evolution (LVE) algorithm with the 3D Face Morphable Model (3DMM). Through comprehensive simulations of simultaneous master face attacks in both white-box, gray-box, and black-box scenarios, we demonstrate the significant threat posed by these 3D master faces to mainstream face authentication systems. Furthermore, we explore the realms of face morphing and facial reenactment in our generated samples, enhancing the efficacy of the master face attack. Compared to existing methods, our approach exhibits superior attack success rates and advanced flexibility, highlighting the importance of defending against master face attacks.
