contents A subset of Human Activity Classification (HAC) systems are based on AI algorithms that use passively collected wireless signals. This paper presents the micro-Doppler attack targeting HAC from wireless orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signals. The attack is executed by inserting artificial variations in a transmitted OFDM waveform to alter its micro-Doppler signature when it reflects off a human target. We investigate two variants of our scheme that manipulate the waveform at different time scales resulting in altered receiver spectrograms. HAC accuracy with a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) can be reduced to less than 10%.
