We propose the use of data transformations as a defense against evasion attacks on ML classifiers. We present and investigate strategies for incorporating a variety of data transformations including dimensionality reduction via Principal Component Analysis and data ‘anti-whitening’ to enhance the resilience of machine learning, targeting both the classification and the training phase. We empiri...

Unfortunately, the native Markov process model cannot ...
