End-to-End Hard-Label Cryptanalytic Model Extraction Using Efficient Sign Recovery

This paper proposes a new sign-recovery algorithm that achieves higher sign-recovery accuracy than the existing method, and enables efficient sign recovery even for trained models, and demonstrates end-to-end model extraction from models trained on MNIST and Fashion-MNIST.

Watermarkable Multi-Draft Speculative Sampling via Poisson Processes

This work develops a novel multi-draft speculative sampling algorithm based on Poisson processes that maintains both watermark strength and sampling efficiency, and is the first multi-draft, drafter-invariant speculative sampling scheme that maintains both watermark strength and sampling efficiency.

ServeGuard: Verifiable, Bounded-Residual Confinement of Operator-Invisible Channels Without Revealing the Certified Read Factor

ServeGuard is a supply-chain primitive: the publisher ships a proof-carrying adapter whose proof lets a consumer or regulator verify, without the certified read factor and without trusting the publisher, that the adapter carries no hidden channel of this class relative to the declared monitor.

Identifying Security Platform Product Abuse with Machine Learning

This work provides the first study of such a whole-system defense, especially with respect to a deployed and operational capability, and shows an increase in product abuse coverage, a 30% reduction in monthly alerts, and adaptability to changes in malicious actors'behavior.

ASGARD: Action-Space Guard for UAV Resilience via Reinforcement Learning

Reinforcement learning (RL) controllers have been recently adopted for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) navigation and control. However, they are susceptible to action-space attacks that overwrite the action commands after the policy generates them and before the actuators execute them. While most existing defenses targe...

TERMon: Detecting Persistent Behavioral Threats in Edge AI via Hardware-Native Ternary Runtime Monitor

TERMon is a lightweight hardware runtime monitor that detects anomalies by observing inference behavior rather than re-executing or formally verifying the model, and represents class-conditional trusted behavior as hardware-efficient ternary patterns that are matched in parallel against a thermometer-encoded fingerprin...

CIPL: A Channel-Aware Framework for Recoverable Privacy Leakage in LLM Agents

CIPL (Channel Inversion for Privacy Leakage), a channel-aware evaluation framework for black-box privacy leakage in LLM agents, is presented and provides a common framework for comparing how internal sensitive dependence is realized as externally recoverable leakage across heterogeneous agent pipelines.

Micro-Collaborative Poisoning: A Distributed Attack on RAG Systems

The results indicate that Micro-Collaborative Poisoning is not driven by a single dominant poisoned passage, but by the accumulation of weak adversarial signals across retrieved sources, which achieves downstream influence while leaving a weaker explicit poisoning signature than direct poisoning.

HE-Guardrail: A Homomorphic Guardrail Against Jailbreak Attacks for Encrypted Large Language Model Inference

HE-Guardrail is proposed, a framework that evaluates guardrail mechanisms entirely over encrypted data and homomorphically controls whether the target-model response is returned to the client, with distinct security-efficiency-utility trade-offs.

CESBench: Benchmarking Large Language Models on Cryptographic Engineering Security for IoT Devices

This paper presents CESBench, 380 expert-written items across six sub-domains of cryptographic engineering security for IoT devices: side-channel, fault injection, implementation, countermeasures, evaluation, and integration, and presents the benchmark, prompts, and per-item results.

Authorization Revocation for Long-Running AI Agents: Root-Scoped Quiescence under Delegation and Asynchronous Execution

Under stated assumptions, it is proved post-cut issuer non-expansion, support-sound projection, compositional soundness under exact channel conservation, independent-support preservation, merge-order independence, and crash/replay stability.

dSTAR: Straggler Tolerant and Byzantine Resilient Distributed SGD

DSTAR is proposed, a lightweight and efficient approach for distributed stochastic gradient descent that enhances robustness and convergence and outperforms other Byzantine-resilient methods that often suffer up to a 40-50\% accuracy drop under attack.

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.
