Abstract
Membership inference attack is one of the most popular privacy attacks in machine learning, which aims to predict whether a given sample was contained in the target model's training set. Label-only membership inference attack is a variant that exploits sample robustness and attracts more attention since it assumes a practical scenario in which the adversary only has access to the predicted labels of the input samples. However, since the decision boundary distance, which measures robustness, is strongly affected by the random initial image, the adversary may get opposite results even for the same input samples. In this paper, we propose a new attack method, called muti-class adaptive membership inference attack in the label-only setting. All decision boundary distances for all target classes have been traversed in the early attack iterations, and the subsequent attack iterations continue with the shortest decision boundary distance to obtain a stable and optimal decision boundary distan
