Reading Is Not Leaking: Local, Auditable Measurement and Reduction of Inference Exposure from Public Footprints
Anyone with a public footprint leaks facts that were never stated, and language models make the inference cheap.Beyond NISQ Assumptions: One-time Memory in the Classically Accessible Random-Oracle Model
Quantum information enables many cryptographic primitives that are impossible in the classical world."You're Right, Let Me Fix It": How LLM Agents Damage Correct Work When Falsely Accused
LLM agents increasingly keep working after a task succeeds as they resume after compaction or take over handoffs.Trust the Brand, Lose Control: How Identity Hijacks LLM Agent Orchestration
LLM agents now execute tasks end to end with permission to change real systems and increasingly orchestrate subagents that differ in capability and cost.Ask Without Telling: Local SLMs Consult Cloud LLMs Without Revealing Task Intent
As local small language models (SLMs) increasingly collaborate with more capable cloud large language models (LLMs), a natural privacy question arises: Can a local SLM obtain cloud LLM guidance…Silent Failures in Agentic Security Evaluation: A Validated Harness for Tool-Call Mediation Under Indirect Prompt Injection
LLM agents that invoke privileged tools are vulnerable to indirect prompt injection (IPI), in which adversarial instructions embedded in retrieved data hijack the agent's actions.Learning to Refer: Client-Resolved Generation for Privacy-Aware Language Models
Cloud-based large language models (LLMs) require users to disclose plaintext data to service providers, creating privacy risks in sensitive domains.Retrospective Distillation Attribution via Normalized Response Similarity
Model distillation transfers capabilities through supervised fine-tuning (SFT) on teacher responses, often collected from commercial APIs, raising questions of model provenance.AnchorMixGAN: Anchor-Aligned Generative Semi-Supervision for DDoS Detection in Cloud-Integrated IoT Networks
Detecting distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks in cloud-integrated IoT networks is difficult when labeled traffic is scarce.Agentic Network Traffic Monitoring
As the use of agentic artificial intelligence increases in nearly every industry, there exists a widening attack surface.PlanGuard: A Guardrail for Multi-Step Plan Safety in Embodied Agents
Embodied task planners may produce multi-step plans whose subtask dependencies and interactions with the environment create physical risks during execution.Quantum Machine Learning for Cybersecurity Applications: Simulation and Hardware Validation
Under tight feature and compute budgets, classical threat detection pipelines often degrade on near-decision-boundary events.AgentTell: Behavioural Side-Channel Leakage in Browser-Use Agents
Browser-use agents often carry information in their context as they move between websites.Coordinated Electromagnetic Side-Channel Attacks for Voter--Ballot Linking: A Case Study of the Brazilian E-Polling System
In this work, we show how two adversaries (Eve and Mallory) can coordinate an electromagnetic side-channel attack to recon- struct the vote displayed on an e-voting machine (EVM) and link it to a…Backdoor in the Loop: Compromising Agentic Search via Malicious Retrievers
Agentic retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) interleaves reasoning with repeated retrieval, giving the retriever influence over both the evidence an agent observes and its subsequent search decisions.Smooth Sailing through Spherical Shells: Provable Random-Lattice Sieving in Time $2^{0.292n}$
In an attempt to close the gap between the best provable and heuristic algorithms for hard lattice problems, such as the shortest (SVP) and closest vector problem (CVP), we analyze lattice sieving…Prompt Injection Detection for Email Agents Through Attack Chain Modeling
Large language model email assistants are particularly vulnerable to indirect prompt injection because untrusted email content can be retrieved into the model context and influence subsequent tool…Werracle: Sub-Cent Intra-Block AI Reflex Oracles and Flash-Loan Circuit Breakers for EVM Smart Contracts
Contemporary on-chain artificial intelligence (AI) encounters an intractable Von Neumann memory and latency wall.Input-Layer Starvation: Why Per-Layer Pruning Breaks IoT Intrusion Detectors
Intrusion detectors for small Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices are usually compressed by pruning and judged by overall accuracy.XPhysICS: Cross-Physical-Domain Threat Grounding for Industrial Control Systems Security
Industrial control system attacks are usually documented in terms of the plant where they occurred: its sensors, actuators, process stages, and control logic.
