A Survey of Threats Against Voice Authentication and Anti-Spoofing Systems

A comprehensive review of the modern threat landscape targeting Voice Authentication Systems (VAS) and Anti-Spoofing Countermeasures (CMs), including data poisoning, adversarial, deepfake, and adversarial spoofing attacks is presented.

Deep-Fake CAPTCHA: Mitigating Next-Generation Social Engineering Attacks

This paper presents DF-CAPTCHA, an active defense against real-time deepfake impersonation in voice and video calls. Instead of passively searching for artifacts, DF-CAPTCHA prompts the caller to perform simple challenge-response tasks that are easy for humans but difficult for current real-time deepfake systems to gen...

terms.txt: A Consent and Compensation Protocol for Agentic Web Access

This work specifies terms.txt, a robots.txt-style file for per-path, per-purpose machine-access terms, plus an origin-enforced exchange using Web Bot Auth signatures, signed intent, delegation tokens, HTTP 402 negotiation, and signed receipts, and defines what the exchange can enforce, audit, and leave to contract.

BenchShield: Formal Model-Backed Instrumentation for Reward Integrity in LLM-Agent Evaluation Infrastructure

BenchShield is presented, a model-backed instrumentation layer for reward integrity in LLM-agent evaluation that grounds detection in a finite lifecycle model of an evaluation's reward-relevant events and achieves 96% accuracy in detecting reward hacking from infrastructure-side evidence.

DeFiFusion: Combining Transaction Events with Smart Contracts to Detect Price Manipulation Attacks

DeFiFusion is presented, a dual-modal PMA detection framework that closes this gap by jointly modeling transaction events and smart contract semantics within a unified pipeline, and proposes a Dual-Modal Projection-Fusion Transformer with T5-style relative positional encoding.

No-Box Vulnerability Analysis: Description-only Detection of Indirect Prompt Injection Vulnerabilities in MCP Servers

This work proposes a new paradigm of no-box vulnerability analysis in which neither access nor runtime interaction is available, and only functionality metadata is available, and introduces no-box vulnerability analysis as a new analysis paradigm and demonstrates its practical feasibility in realistic systems.

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

The integration of Large Language Models (LLMs) into Security Operations Centers (SOCs) streamlines threat intelligence but introduces critical vulnerabilities, notably indirect prompt injection via log poisoning. Adversaries exploit this vector to execute multistep ``promptware'' kill chains by embedding malicious pay...

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

Watermarking diffusion language models (DLMs) requires mechanisms compatible with iterative parallel unmasking rather than autoregressive decoding. Existing sampling-based watermarking methods typically inject position-wise i.i.d. perturbations, which can be poorly aligned with DLM decoding dynamics and degrade generat...

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.
