Securing Unbounded Differential Privacy against Timing Attacks

Recent works have started to theoretically investigate how we can protect differentially private programs against timing attacks, by making the joint distribution the output and the runtime differentially private JOT-DP. However, the existing approaches to JOT-DP have some limitations, particular...

Private Memorization Editing: Turning Memorization into a Defense to Strengthen Data Privacy in Large Language Models

Large Language Models LLMs memorize, and thus, among huge amounts of uncontrolled data, may memorize Personally Identifiable Information PII, which should not be stored and, consequently, not leaked. In this paper, we introduce Private Memorization Editing PME, an approach for preventing private...

GradEscape: a Gradient-Based Evader against AI-Generated Text Detectors

In this paper, we introduce GradEscape, the first gradient-based evader designed to attack AI-generated text AIGT detectors. GradEscape overcomes the undifferentiable computation problem, caused by the discrete nature of text, by introducing a novel approach to construct weighted embeddings for t...

Evaluating Explainable AI for Deep Learning-Based Network Intrusion Detection System Alert Classification
