Could LLM Watermark Detection be Public?

This work quantifies whether a public detector would be an additional liability in a deployment setting at varying levels of access, and introduces a split-key public-private watermarking method that exposes one key through a public detector while keeping the other for full verification and forensics.

BRACE: Differential Privacy for Dense Associative Memory with LSR Energy

This paper proposes the Boundary-Responsive Adaptive Correction Evolution (BRACE) algorithm, a differentially private retrieval mechanism for LSR-DAM that adaptively corrects boundary-sensitive perturbations to control their cumulative effect over the retrieval trajectory.

Power Side-Channel Membership Inference Attack on Embedded Machine Learning

Membership inference attacks (MIAs) threaten the privacy of machine learning (ML) training data by determining whether a sample was used to train a target model. Existing MIAs rely on model outputs, ranging from prediction probabilities to predicted labels, an assumption that can be restrictive for on-device ML systems...

CPU-Auth: Device Fingerprinting for Authentication via DVFS Side-Channel

Lack of effective authentication has resulted in numerous security and privacy breaches, including unauthorized access to protected information, identity theft, and fraud. One approach to mitigating such attacks is Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), in which users must provide multiple pieces of information for authent...

Safe at One Loop, Risky at Another: Aligning Safety Across Recurrent Depths in Looped Language Models

Looped Language Models (LoopLMs) provide a parameter efficient approach to scaling model capabilities through repeated use of shared parameters across recurrent steps. Since each recurrent depth can be read out independently, a single LoopLM exposes a broader output space across inference depths, raising an important q...

When Routing Reveals Membership: Privacy Leakage from MoE Router Telemetry

Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) language models produce routing information during inference that may be logged or exposed for monitoring, debugging, load analysis, and safety auditing. Unlike ordinary model outputs, this telemetry reveals a view of the model's internal computation, raising a privacy question: can it reveal w...

Temporal transformer CAN encoder with federated lightweight heads for anomaly detection

Modern vehicles rely on large numbers of Electronic Control Units (ECUs) that constantly exchange information over the Controller Area Network (CAN) bus. Due to the rapidity, structure, and repetition of this communication, even slight variations in timing, payload values, or message patterns can point to unusual activ...

Token by Token, Compromised: Backdoor Vulnerabilities in Unified Autoregressive Models

Unified autoregressive models (UAMs) are transformer models that generate text as well as image tokens within a single autoregressive pass. Shared parameters and a multimodal vocabulary simplify the training pipeline and facilitate flexible multimodal generation, yet might introduce new vulnerabilities. In particular,...

DCVD: Dual-Channel Cross-Modal Fusion for Joint Vulnerability Detection and Localization

Software vulnerability detection plays a critical role in ensuring system security, where real-world auditing requires not only determining whether a function is vulnerable but also pinpointing the specific lines responsible. However, existing approaches either rely on a single information source -- sequential, structu...

Arbiter: Detecting Interference in LLM Agent System Prompts

System prompts for LLM-based coding agents are software artifacts that govern agent behavior, yet lack the testing infrastructure applied to conventional software. We present Arbiter, a framework combining formal evaluation rules with multi-model LLM scouring to detect interference patterns in system prompts. Applied t...

mAVE: A Watermark for Joint Audio-Visual Generation Models

Watermarking joint audio-visual generation supports vendor copyright protection and content provenance. However, independently valid audio and video watermarks do not establish a shared generation session. An adversary can splice watermarked modalities from different sessions, causing the pair to be mistaken for the ve...

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.
