No Way To Steal My Face: Proactive Defense Against Identity-Preserving Personalized Generation

To bridge this gap, we propose IDGuardian-the first generalizable and model-agnostic identity protection framework capable of defending against both training-based and training-free personalization methods.

Key points

  • Recent advances in diffusion models have enabled high-fidelity, identity-preserving image generation for personalized applications such as digital avatars and virtual try-on systems.
  • IDGuardian abstracts the personalization process into two critical stages: identity extraction and identity injection.
  • It then introduces crafted adversarial perturbations to simultaneously disrupt both stages.
  • Extensive experiments show that IDGuardian effectively protects identity across various personalization pipelines and model architectures, while remaining robust to post-processing, adaptive attacks, and cross-dataset generalization.
