SyzHarness is a framework that combines LLM reasoning with coverage-guided fuzzing for patch-based Linux kernel vulnerability reproduction and achieves a 73% bug reproduction success rate, substantially outperforming prior directed greybox fuzzing.

It is argued that this gap leaves an irreducible residual of undetected attacks wherever inputs and actions are not restricted in advance to an enumerated set, and systematize defenses across runtime monitoring, architectural separation, and authorization.
A dual-locking method for securing trained neural networks, combining key-driven index permutation with personal identification number-based watermarking via sparse quantization index modulation (QIM), which offers strong protection and traceability for neural network models.

Trustworthiness as a Service is developed through a synthesis of trustworthy-AI governance, agent security, distributed trust management, identity, provenance, assurance, and control-plane research, providing a reusable profile for cross-domain reliance.

Memory-poisoning defenses for LLM agents are typically evaluated by how well they stop attacks, even though almost all traffic they encounter is benign. We measure their cost when no attack is present. Our harness holds the memory backend, retrieval, answer prompt, and judge constant, changing only the defense. We test...
LLM agents are increasingly used for security tasks: vulnerability discovery, exploit reproduction, and patch generation. Improving them at the model level demands expert demonstrations or computable rewards, which security tasks rarely offer: traces are costly, failures hard to diagnose, rewards sparse, and non-comput...

Mobile agents powered by foundation models now automate complex, multi-step workflows on real devices, but their trajectories can violate app-specific security policies. Existing trajectory-level defenses rely on LLM prompting or rigid rules, and thus fail to support fine-grained, natural-language policies that general...

This paper defines a framework of five assurance properties and claims an initial existence argument that the properties are realizable together, not a comparative performance result, and specifies the multi target, ablation, and adversarial evaluation protocol required to turn the framework obligations into measuremen...
A fairly compensated protocol for distributed information retrieval and augmentation in autonomous agent networks that enables retrieval agents to securely evaluate and rank candidate documents without learning their plaintext contents, while ensuring that data providers are compensated only when valid information is s...
LLM agents translate natural-language context, which may include attacker-controlled text, into privileged tool calls, so authorization must remain effective even when an agent is prompt-injected or adversarially steered. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) has become a widely adopted interface for this boundary, yet its...
Two lightweight visual-only cues, rPPG-derived waveforms extracted by RhythmFormer and lip-region discrete cosine transform (DCT) coefficients, are studied on the seven TF methods of Celeb-DF++ under a subject-independent protocol.
This paper presents an LLM-based system that translates natural-language access control policies (NLACPs) into executable Rego code for Open Policy Agent (OPA). It provides a modular, end-to-end pipeline for policy detection, component extraction, schema validation, linting, compilation, and automated test generation a...
Research Manager Mike Walker reflects on a career spanning hacker culture, cybersecurity, and AI, sharing lessons about trust, teamwork, leadership, and why solving difficult problems requires curiosity, judgment, agility—and an understanding of the rules.

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?
