SpliTEE: Fast and Private LLM Inference by Coupling GPU-Assisted Trusted Execution Environments with Differential Privacy

arXiv:2609.15039v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: User prompts provided to large language models (LLMs) may contain private information. One way to protect them is to execute the LLM inside a trusted execution environment (TEE). However, this results in slow inference times as current TEEs are significantly slower than GPUs for LLM inference. To circumvent this, Tram\`er and Boneh (2019) propose

Where does a rust speedup come from? Language and algorithm effects in sliding window threat scorer

arXiv:2610.07931v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Rewriting a hot path from Python into Rust is a common way to speed up security analytics, and large speedups are routinely reported. A rewrite usually changes the language and the algorithm at once, so a single factor can credit the language with a gain that comes from a better algorithm. We study this on a sliding window threat scorer modelled on t

Weight Oracles: Reading Neural Network Weights with Language Models

arXiv:2610.07334v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Interpretability methods for neural networks are predominantly reactive: they analyse activations produced during specific forward passes, requiring known inputs to find hidden capabilities such as backdoors. We propose Weight Oracles, fine-tuned language models that diagnose properties of a target network by reading its raw weights directly, witho

The Deception Delta: Adversarial Evaluation of LLM-Based Smart Contract Bytecode Forensics

Their robustness has not been systematically tested against contracts adversarially designed to mislead analysis. We evaluate 22 frontier models on 13 purpose-built contracts (9 deception vectors, 4 controls) across s

Secure Speculative Decoding for Large Language Models

arXiv:2610.08678v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Speculative decoding accelerates inference for a large language model (LLM), referred to as the \emph{target model}, by first using a smaller model, referred to as the \emph{draft model}, to generate candidate tokens and then verifying them with the target model for acceptance or rejection. Prior studies primarily focused on the efficiency-utility tr

The Model Plants the Trigger: Answer-Side Backdoor Attacks in Multi-Turn Large Language Models

arXiv:2610.07723v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Safety alignment in Large Language Models (LLMs) remains vulnerable to backdoor attacks. Existing LLM backdoors are almost all input-centric: activation depends on explicit trigger patterns in the user input, so modern guardrails are built to sanitize the input space. We challenge this assumption with a novel answer-side backdoor for multi-turn dialo

Decoy and disclosure radii of invariant shape descriptors

arXiv:2610.08410v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A recognizer that compares rotation-invariant descriptors sees a surface only up to the fiber of the descriptor. We measure this fiber by its radius in the orbit distance from the enrolled surface. A large radius admits decoys, that is, distant shapes that pass the matcher. A small radius discloses the enrolled shape to anyone who captures the stor

A Resilient Runtime-Verification Fabric for Security Monitoring of Critical Edge-IoT Infrastructure

arXiv:2610.07282v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Protecting critical infrastructure increasingly depends on continuously verifying large IoT fleets against formal security specifications at runtime. Yet the runtime-verification (RV) pipelines proposed for this task are typically single-host prototypes whose monitors read a shared log file, with no resilience to the failures such deployments incur:

Where Does the Audio Jailbreak Live? A Controlled Frequency-Depth Audit of AdvWave-P on Qwen2-Audio

The protocol masks frequency components of the perturbation in the short-time Fourier transform (STFT) domain and measures attack success and audio-span representations. On 520 AdvBench prompts, the primary judge labels 76.7% of adversarial input

HE-OFT: Privacy-Preserving One-Shot Federated Fine-Tuning under Homomorphic Encryption

Several of these parties often hold data for the same task and wish to fine-tune a model together without pooling that data. Federated learning (FL) enables joint fine-tuning, but reconstruction attacks on shared intermediate values (the model or its g

Efficient Auditing of Adversarial AI Agent Behavior from Agent Traces

Safeguarding LLMs via Model-Agnostic Latent Safety Signals from Dark Knowledge

However, existing decoding-stage defenses suffer from two limitations. First, they introduce a trade-off between safety and over-ref

When Can Stateless Recovery Defeat Byzantine Quorum Safety? A Tight Normal Form for Single-Step BFT
