SeriCrypt: An LLM-Driven Context-Aware Serialization Framework for Cryptographic Protocols

Constructing syntactically correct and cryptographically valid message sequences is essential for protocol state machine learning, conformance testing, and fuzzing. Unlike plaintext protocols, cryptographic protocols involve complex cross-message state dependencies and cryptographic computation constraints. Existing au...

A Privacy-Preserving Middleware Architecture for Detecting Prompt Injection and Sensitive Data Exposure in Large-Language-Model Interactions

A privacy-preserving hybrid middleware architecture that enforces a local trust boundary as its primary design constraint that is model-agnostic, requires no retraining of the underlying LLM, and is compatible with black-box API deployments is proposed and evaluated.

Anti-Entropy Mechanisms in Distributed Security Data Platforms: Achieving Single-Digit Minute Latency at Cloud Scale

Cloud providers now generate security findings, vulnerability scan results, compliance violations, and configuration drift alerts, across infrastructure spanning millions of hosts and dozens of geographic regions. The platforms responsible for collecting and delivering these findings must reconcile three properties tha...

Spatiotemporal Key Synchronization and Recursive Integrity Auditing for One-Way Industrial Channels

In Critical Energy Infrastructures (CEI), the standard cryptographic synchronization model failed once return paths were physically severed by one-way data diodes. Conventional interactive workflows, including Diffie-Hellman key exchanges and TCP-style handshakes, could not function in these zero-feedback environments....
