contents Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) have found extensive applications in safety-critical artificial intelligence systems, such as autonomous driving and facial recognition systems. However, recent research has revealed their susceptibility to Neural Network Trojans (NN Trojans) maliciously injected by adversaries. This vulnerability arises due to the intricate architecture and opacity of DNNs, resulting in numerous redundant neurons embedded within the models. Adversaries exploit these vulnerabilities to conceal malicious Trojans within DNNs, thereby causing erroneous outputs and posing substantial threats to the efficacy of DNN-based applications. This article presents a comprehensive survey of Trojan attacks against DNNs and the countermeasure methods employed to mitigate them. Initially, we trace the evolution of the concept from traditional Trojans to NN Trojans, highlighting the feasibility and practicality of generating NN Trojans. Subsequently, we provide an overview of notable works encompassing various attack and defense strategies, facilitating a comparative analysis of their approaches. Through these discussions, we offer constructive insights aimed at refining these techniques. In recognition of the gravity and immediacy of this subject matter, we also assess the feasibility of deploying such attacks in real-world scenarios as opposed to controlled ideal datasets. The potential real-world implications underscore the urgency of addressing this issue effectively.
