Exact $\ell_p$-CVP via Euclidean SVP in Polynomial Space
We give a randomized, rank-preserving reduction from exact $\ell_p$-CVP to exact Euclidean SVP for every integer $p\ge2$.Dynamic Watermarking and Action-Conditioned Latent Dynamics for Secure Vision-Based Controllers
Replay attacks are difficult to detect in vision-based control systems because previously recorded observations can remain plausible while the physical system follows a different trajectory.Structured Quantum Hardness from Unstructured Assumptions
Whether useful structured hardness can arise from unstructured assumptions is a fundamental question in complexity and cryptography.Signed but Not Safe: Requirement Integrity in Multi-Agent LLM Handoffs
Enterprise AI agents increasingly split a user's request across subagents and merge their results, and each handoff can summarize away, alter or ignore a requirement.MEvince: Knowledge-Constrained LLM Reasoning for Technique Identification from Malware Reports
Mapping behavioral intelligence in malware analysis reports to ATT&CK techniques supports threat analysis and defense, but reliable identification remains challenging.Digital Security Under Compound Threats: Surveillance, Threat Reasoning, and Habituation Among North Korean Defectors in China
North Korean defectors residing in China face persistent uncertainty regarding digital security and privacy.Beyond Instruction Override: Benchmarking Indirect Prompt Injection with Task-Tampering Attacks
Indirect prompt-injection (IPI) benchmarks predominantly test planted instructions that redirect a tool-using agent toward an attacker-chosen task.Stealthy Malicious Interference Detection in UAV Formations: A Power-Domain Signaling Game Approach
Reliable intra-swarm communication is fundamental to cooperative sensing, control, and mission execution in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) swarms.KeHoSu: Keyed Homoglyph Substitution for Authenticated Text Provenance over Copy-Paste Channels
Nowadays, large language models produce text at scale, and much of it is redistributed across platforms.AI-Native Task-Oriented Semantic Communications over a Relay: Benefits and Vulnerabilities
Semantic communication (SemCom) using a relay node is considered, where the relay assists in conveying task-relevant information from a source to a destination, with meaning defined by…Decision Models as Retrieval Gates Against Injection and Pollution
Retrieved web text can carry instructions aimed at the language model, or synthetic pages written to mislead.FedReason: Large Language Models as Weight-Space Meta-Aggregators for Heterogeneous Federated Learning
Federated learning servers combine client models with a fixed aggregation rule, and each rule in common use is designed for one kind of heterogeneity.Timing is Everything: Inferring Temporal Membership in Continually Updated Models
Continual model updating has become a common practice in the deployment of machine learning systems.When File Ingestion Misleads Language Models: Measuring and Mitigating Divergences in Office Documents
Office documents are now routinely uploaded to large language models (LLMs) for processing.A Hybrid Approach for Automated Security Pattern Recovery
Security-by-design emphasises integrating security into software design and development.Quantum Key Exchange from Public Quantum Money
Two-message quantum key exchange (2QKE) cannot be realized in a statistically secure way, and therefore some computational assumptions are required.Catastrophic Overfitting is Weight Drift the Training Loss Cannot See
Fast adversarial training (FAT) makes robust training affordable by replacing the multi-step attack with a single-step one, but it suffers from catastrophic overfitting (CO): partway through…Reconciling Privacy with Provenance for Language Model Watermarks
Watermarking has great potential for regulating the use of language models (LMs), but its deployment has been marred by controversy, as many users argue that fine-grained tracking of LM usage…A Post-Quantum Interactive Hashing Theorem
Interactive hashing, introduced by Ostrovsky, Venkatesan, and Yung [OVY93], is a building block in many cryptographic protocols, including perfectly hiding commitments from one-way permutations…Network Intrusion Forensic Detection System with Explainable Artificial Intelligence and Digital Chain of Custody
Deploying an explainable intrusion detection model from a validated laboratory setting into a forensic workflow requires guarantees that benchmarks do not test: that the certified model is the exact…
