Rent-a-RAG: Embedding-Space Watermarks for Auditing Third-Party RAG

DirBucket is the only method that consistently achieves strong target detection with no non-target activation, detecting non-compliance in every audit within 23 audited answers on the authors' primary benchmark, and the results suggest that embedding-space watermarking can make document reuse in third-party RAG statist...

Flip, Don't Shuffle: Watermarking LLMs at the Speed of Inference

Stateless Bernoulli Watermarking (SBW) is introduced, a new statistical watermark for Large Language Models that determines green list membership through independent per-token Bernoulli trials, reducing membership complexity to $O(1)$ and enabling single-kernel execution with zero intermediate allocations.

Spruce: Scalable Private Outsourced Retrieval Using Compact Embeddings

Spruce learns compact binary codes that preserve candidates for full-precision reranking, replacing corpus-wide embedding scoring with efficient Hamming-distance computation under two-server multi-party computation under two-server multi-party computation (MPC).

Differentially private federated learning with Byzantine-robust aggregation: A cross-domain framework for secure model training in banking and healthcare systems

A federated learning framework that combines a Gaussian-mechanism differential privacy layer with a coordinate-wise trimmed-mean Byzantine-robust aggregation rule, evaluated on a simulated cross-institutional classification task resembling fraud and clinical-risk scoring.

Population-Calibrated Graph Screening at 835-Million-Address Scale, with Label-Free Transfer to New Chains

A deployed system that scores an address by its position in a multi-chain transaction graph rather than by its presence in a list, and an adversarial harness of eight recurrent reinforcement-learned archetypes that passes an 8-criterion degeneracy audit and exposes a measured blind spot of the deployed heads against sy...

Privacy Leakage in Federated Learning: Gradient-Based Client Identity Inference and Defenses for Inertial Sensing in Vehicular Edge Networks

As vehicular networks move toward 5G/6G edge intelligence, federated learning (FL) is widely promoted as a privacy-preserving way for vehicles and infrastructure to train shared models without exposing raw sensor data. Yet the updates clients transmit still leak enough information to identify who sent them, which threa...

Refusal geometry reflects refusal training: diverse refusal prefixes can raise stable rank and weaken refusal vector ablation attacks

This work studies refusal directions through the training dynamics across refusal datasets and reveals that their brittleness is associated with repetitive refusal starts, which is linked to concentration of gradients and refusal features in a low-dimensional subspace.

Identifying AI Web Scrapers Using Canary Tokens

This paper proposes a novel technique for accurately and automatically inferring LLM-related scrapers and demonstrates that the approach can reliably identify which scrapers feed which LLM, including several that are not publicly known or disclosed by the companies.

Black October? The Week AI Changed the Cybersecurity Conversation

Critical flaws, compromised release channels and agentic AI threats landed within days of each other in mid-October 2026. Why “Black October” may say more about how well we now find weaknesses than about the attacks themselves. The post Black October? The Week AI Changed the Cybersecurity Conversation appeared first on GPT-Lab.
