Introduced by Shawn Shan et al. in Fawkes: Protecting Privacy against Unauthorized Deep Learning Models
archive 2025-07-28 Description, source and code snippet are the archive's method entry.
Fawkes is an image cloaking system that helps individuals inoculate their images against unauthorized facial recognition models. Fawkes achieves this by helping users add imperceptible pixel-level changes ("cloaks") to their own photos before releasing them. When used to train facial recognition models, these "cloaked" images produce functional models that consistently cause normal images of the user to be misidentified.

Usage over time archive 2025-07-28
Components: the archive holds no method-to-method composition, so PwC's Components table cannot be rebuilt; the Papers list carries no Results column for the same reason (the archive does not join its leaderboard rows to method tags).
