Encryptability As a Coordinate Choice: Depth-One Homomorphic Federated Learning of Quantum Neural Networks

Leveraging this reduction yields a non-interactive protocol for encrypted federated training of hybrid quantum--classical networks, which includes correctness proofs for aggregation and sign handling, plus a compilation lemma proving parameterised entanglers add only constant-factor overhead without altering the depth...

Towards Understanding LLM-Based Log Anomaly Detection: An Empirical Study of Performance, Efficiency, and Robustness

A systematic empirical analysis across three public log datasets, examining different adaptation strategies, model architectures, parameter scales, and quantization settings reveals substantial performance differences across adaptation strategies, while model scaling yields varying detection gains across datasets.

Depth, Not Breadth: Best-of-N Jailbreaking Beyond Surface Noise

Best-of-N jailbreaking spends a query budget on surface variation, scrambling and recasing a request until one draw lands. We ask what a budget buys when its variance is moved into a structural channel instead, holding the search identical across both arms so the encoding is the only difference. Against SAGE, the stron...

AgentXploit: Autonomous Repository-to-Runtime Red-Teaming for AI Agents

This work presents AgentXploit, a two-role auditing system that separates repository-level attack-path discovery from runtime exploitation and introduces AgentXploit-Bench, containing 72 reproducible vulnerabilities across 12 open-source AI-agent systems and frameworks.

Resource-Optimized and Energy-Aware Agentic AI Framework Anchored on Blockchain for Secure Software Supply Chains

A blockchain-backed agentic security framework designed to safeguard the complete software development lifecycle (SDLC) while also securing the agentic AI components responsible for monitoring it, and a generalisable architecture to incorporate the agentic AI into the modern software supply chain security.

Geometric Inconsistency Localization in Multi-View Image Sets

DeformView is introduced, a wide-baseline MV dataset with pixel-level annotations of geometric inconsistencies and DEFECt3R is proposed, a lightweight learning-based classifier that uses cross-view feature relationships to localize geometric inconsistencies at the pixel level.

JevAdvBench: A Benchmark and Black-Box Attacks for Reinforcement Learning for Calibrated Decisions Models

JevAdvBench is introduced, to the authors' knowledge the first adversarial benchmark for RLCD models, with 812 typed questions over 66 scenarios, and a black-box attack suite of 9,744 single-edit variants that each edit one part of a request, with billed input tokens confirming that the edit reached the model.

FARE: Forensic Acceptance Region Estimation for Catching Bait-and-Switch Image Generators

Across generator swaps, including substitutions with similar model versions and model variants, FARE is effective at detecting swaps, consistently outperforming existing baselines at strict operating points, and remains effective under the exact-model and decision-only attacks evaluated in this work.

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. Yet many attacks express a more general physical pattern--such as suppressing flow, corrupting chemical dosing, or driving a vessel toward overflow--that may als...

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.
