Beyond Static Guarantees: Measuring the Static-Pass Dynamic-Fail Gap in Security-Sensitive and LLM-Generated Python Code

The Static-Pass Dynamic-Fail (SPDF) phenomenon and a three-stage agentic pipeline combining static scanning, LLM-driven Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) reasoning, and autonomous exploit verification in isolated Docker containers are introduced.

Architecting the Secure AI-SOC: A Neurosymbolic Framework for Pipeline Integrity and Threat Mitigation

A novel neurosymbolic defense-in-depth architecture that ensures end-to-end pipeline integrity and dismantles the promptware kill chain, bounding LLM stochasticity with verifiable constraints, and delivering a resilient, highly observable defense mechanism for next-generation AI-SOCs.

Demystifying the Privacy-Utility Trade-off in LLM Interactions

By distilling a lightweight model Veilmind-4B to drive a dynamic extraction-sanitization-restoration pipeline, this approach reaches a low-leakage privacy point while preserving substantially higher response utility than existing privacy-oriented baselines, advancing the privacy-utility trade-off toward the Pareto fron...

SpecGuard: Inference-Time Backdoor Detection For Free

SpecGuard is introduced, an inference-time backdoor detector that repurposes speculative decoding at zero added model-computation cost and doubles as a free, always-on signal for detecting backdoored LLM behavior.

SAC-Copula: Quality-Preserving Watermarking for Diffusion Language Models via Smooth Correlated Gumbel Fields

SAC-Copula is proposed, a quality-preserving watermarking method for DLMs based on smooth, locally correlated Gumbel perturbation fields constructed via a Gaussian copula that substantially improves PPL tail stability over the i.i.d. Gumbel baseline while maintaining strong low-FPR detectability and competitive overall...

mmFHE: mmWave Sensing with End-to-End Fully Homomorphic Encryption

The initial feasibility of end-to-end mmWave sensing under FHE on commodity hardware is established and two cryptographic guarantees for any pipeline assembled from this library are formally proved: input privacy and data obliviousness.

CertDW: Towards Certified Dataset Ownership Verification via Conformal Calibration

Deep neural networks (DNNs) rely heavily on high-quality open-source datasets (e.g., ImageNet) for their success, making dataset ownership verification (DOV) crucial for protecting public dataset copyrights. In this paper, we find existing DOV methods (implicitly) assume that the verification process is faithful, where...

DNA: Differentially private Neural Augmentation for contact tracing

In a simulator for COVID19, even at epsilon=1 per message, this work can significantly improve the detection of potentially infected individuals and, as a result of targeted testing, reduce infection rates.

Empirical Evaluation of Data Poisoning Attacks in Supervised Learning

The results separate indiscriminate poisoning, which shows up in standard metrics, from targeted backdoor poisoning, which stays comparatively stealthy while embedding highly effective malicious behavior, and they support security-oriented evaluation beyond conventional clean-test metrics.

DriftNet: A Dual-Head Trajectory Transformer for Detecting and Localizing Prompt Injection in LLM Agents

DriftNet is presented, a dual-head trajectory Transformer that reads a logged tool-call trajectory and answers all three questions in one forward pass: one head classifies the trajectory as compromised or not, and a second assigns every step one of four labels (benign, injection point, hijacked, failed injection).

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.
