ETDI: Mitigating Tool Squatting and Rug Pull Attacks in Model Context Protocol (MCP) by Using OAuth-Enhanced Tool Definitions and Policy-Based Access Control

The Model Context Protocol MCP plays a crucial role in extending the capabilities of Large Language Models LLMs by enabling integration with external tools and data sources. However, the standard MCP specification presents significant security vulnerabilities, notably Tool Poisoning and Rug Pull...

Black-Box Crypto Is Useless for Pseudorandom Codes

A pseudorandom code is a keyed error-correction scheme with the property that any polynomial number of encodings appear random to any computationally bounded adversary. We show that the pseudorandomness of any code tolerating a constant rate of random errors cannot be based on black-box reduction...

Improving LLM Agents with Reinforcement Learning on Cryptographic CTF Challenges

Large Language Models LLMs still struggle with the structured reasoning and tool-assisted computation needed for problem solving in cybersecurity applications. In this work, we introduce "random-crypto", a cryptographic Capture-the-Flag CTF challenge generator framework that we use to fine-tune a...

CVE-2025-48946

CVE-2025-48946 concerns the liboqs library (C), specifically the HQC algorithm implemented in versions prior to 0.13.0. The root cause is a theoretical design flaw in HQC that can lead to large numbers of malformed ciphertexts sharing the same implicit rejection value. The public descriptions sta...

CVE-2024-38341

IBM Sterling Secure Proxy 6.0.0.0 through 6.0.3.1, 6.1.0.0 through 6.1.0.0, and 6.2.0.0 through 6.2.0.1 uses weaker than expected cryptographic algorithms that could allow an attacker to decrypt highly sensitive information...

Compact and Selective Disclosure for Verifiable Credentials

Self-Sovereign Identity SSI is a novel identity model that empowers individuals with full control over their data, enabling them to choose what information to disclose, with whom, and when. This paradigm is rapidly gaining traction worldwide, supported by numerous initiatives such as the European...

The End of Universal Lifelong Identifiers: Identity Systems for the AI Era

Many identity systems assign a single, static identifier to an individual for life, reused across domains like healthcare, finance, and education. These Universal Lifelong Identifiers ULIs underpin critical workflows but now pose systemic privacy risks. We take the position that ULIs are...
