Medical images often contain sensitive information, and one typical security measure is to encrypt medical images prior to storage and analysis. A number of solutions, such as those utilizing deep learning, have been proposed for medical image encryption and decryption. However, our research shows that deep learning-based encryption models can potentially be vulnerable to backdoor attacks. In this paper, a backdoor attack paradigm for encryption and decryption network is proposed and corresponding attacks are respectively designed for encryption and decryption scenarios. For attacking the encryption model, a backdoor discriminator is adopted, which is randomly trained with the normal discriminator to confuse the encryption process. In the decryption scenario, a number of subnetwork parameters are replaced and the subnetwork can be activated when detecting the trigger embedded into the input (encrypted image) to degrade the decryption performance. Considering the model performance degradation due to parameter replacement, the model pruning is also adopted to further strengthen the attacking performance. Furthermore, the image steganography is adopted to generate invisible triggers for each image; subsequently, improving the stealthiness of backdoor attacks. Our research on designing backdoor attacks for encryption and decryption network can serve as an attacking mode for such networks, and provides another research direction for improving the security of such models. This research is also one of the earliest works to realize the backdoor attack on the deep learning based medical encryption and decryption network to evaluate the security performance of these networks. Extensive experimental results show that the proposed method can effectively threaten the security performance both for the encryption and decryption network.
