MetaCloak-JPEG: JPEG-Robust Adversarial Perturbation for Preventing Unauthorized DreamBooth-Based Deepfake Generation

The rapid progress of subject-driven text-to-image synthesis, and in particular DreamBooth, has enabled a consent-free deepfake pipeline: an adversary needs only 4-8 publicly available face images to fine-tune a personalized diffusion model and produce photorealistic harmful content. Current adversarial face-protection systems -- PhotoGuard, Anti-DreamBooth, and MetaCloak -- perturb user images to disrupt surrogate fine-tuning, but all share a structural blindness: none backpropagates gradients through the JPEG compression pipeline that every major social-media platform applies before adversary access. Because JPEG quantization relies on round(), whose derivative is zero almost everywhere, adversarial energy concentrates in high-frequency DCT bands that JPEG discards, eliminating 60-80% of the protective signal. We introduce MetaCloak-JPEG, which closes this gap by inserting a Differentiable JPEG (DiffJPEG) layer built on the Straight-Through Estimator (STE): the forward pass applies standard JPEG compression, while the backward pass replaces round() with the identity. DiffJPEG is embedded in a JPEG-aware EOT distribution (~70% of augmentations include DiffJPEG) and a curriculum quality-factor schedule (QF: 95 to 50) inside a bilevel meta-learning loop. Under an l-inf perturbation budget of eps=8/255, MetaCloak-JPEG attains 32.7 dB PSNR, a 91.3% JPEG survival rate, and outperforms PhotoGuard on all 9 evaluated JPEG quality factors (9/9 wins, mean denoising-loss gain +0.125) within a 4.1 GB training-memory budget.
