Operating LEO mega-constellations requires translating high-level operator intents ("reroute financial traffic away from polar links under 80 ms") into low-level routing constraints -- a task that demands both natural language understanding…
As large language models (LLMs) evolve from static chatbots into autonomous agents, the primary vulnerability surface shifts from final outputs to intermediate execution traces. While safety guardrails are well-benchmarked for natural…
This article presents DDP-SA, a scalable privacy-preserving federated learning framework that jointly leverages client-side local differential privacy (LDP) and full-threshold additive secret sharing (ASS) for secure aggregation. Unlike…
Software vulnerabilities continue to pose significant threats to modern information systems, requiring a timely and accurate risk assessment. Public repositories, such as the National Vulnerability Database and CVE details, are regularly…
Ensuring ciphertext indistinguishability is fundamental to cryptographic security, but empirically validating this property in real implementations and hybrid settings presents practical challenges. The transition to post-quantum…
Data leakage is the inadvertent transfer of information between training and evaluation datasets that poses a subtle, yet critical, risk to the reliability of machine learning (ML) models in safety-critical systems such as automotive…
As high quality public data becomes scarce, Federated Learning (FL) provides a vital pathway to leverage valuable private user data while preserving privacy. However, real-world client data often contains toxic or unsafe information. This…
Current LLM-based services typically require users to submit raw text regardless of its sensitivity. While intuitive, such practice introduces substantial privacy risks, as unauthorized access may expose personal, medical, or legal…
Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems make it possible for detecting intrusion anomalies in real-time manner by their applied security rules. However, the heterogeneity of vendor-specific rules (e.g., Splunk SPL,…
The lead marketing ecosystem enables collection, sale, and use of personal data submitted via web forms to deliver personalized quotes in high-value verticals such as insurance. Despite its scale and sensitivity of the collected data, this…
In video conferencing, human faces serve as the primary visual focal points, playing multifaceted roles that enhance visual communication and emotional connection. However, we argue that a human face is also a side channel, which can…
Recent standards such as RSL address AI content policy declaration -- telling AI systems what the licensing terms are. However, no existing system provides audit infrastructure -- tamper-evident licensing transaction records with…
Effective detection of unknown network security threats in multi-class imbalanced environments is critical for maintaining cyberspace security. Current methods focus on learning class representations but face challenges with unknown threat…
Recent advancements in Large Language Models (LLMs) have sparked interest in their application to Static Application Security Testing (SAST), primarily due to their superior contextual reasoning capabilities compared to traditional symbolic…
Concept drift and adversarial evasion are two major challenges for deploying machine learning-based malware detectors. While both have been studied separately, their combination, the adversarial robustness of drift-adaptive detectors,…
Symbolic execution detects vulnerabilities with precision, but applying it to large codebases requires harnesses that set up symbolic state, model dependencies, and specify assertions. Writing these harnesses has traditionally been a manual…
CubeSats have revolutionized access to space by providing affordable and accessible platforms for research and education. However, their reliance on Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) components and open-source software has introduced…
LLM agents increasingly draft messages on behalf of users, yet users routinely overshare sensitive information and disagree on what counts as private. Existing systems support only suppression (omitting sensitive information) and…
Web agents automate browser tasks, ranging from simple form completion to complex workflows like ordering groceries. While current benchmarks evaluate general-purpose performance~(e.g., WebArena) or safety against malicious actions~(e.g.,…
Given the growing reliance on private data in training Large Language Models (LLMs), Federated Learning (FL) combined with Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT) has garnered significant attention for enhancing privacy and efficiency.…
