FIRCE: A Framework for Intrusion Response and Conformal Evaluation

Machine learning-based intrusion detection systems deployed in real-world environments frequently suffer from model degradation due to concept drift, where changes in traffic patterns invalidate training assumptions. To address this, we present FIRCE, a Framework for Intrusion Response and...

Trustworthy Quantum Machine Learning: A Roadmap for Reliability, Robustness, and Security in the NISQ Era

Quantum machine learning QML is a promising paradigm for tackling computational problems that challenge classical AI. Yet, the inherent probabilistic behavior of quantum mechanics, device noise in NISQ hardware, and hybrid quantum-classical execution pipelines introduce new risks that prevent...

Towards Reliable and Practical LLM Security Evaluations Via Bayesian Modelling

Before adopting a new large language model LLM architecture, it is critical to understand vulnerabilities accurately. Existing evaluations can be difficult to trust, often drawing conclusions from LLMs that are not meaningfully comparable, relying on heuristic inputs or employing metrics that fai...

A Fast, Reliable, and Secure Programming Language for LLM Agents with Code Actions

Modern large language models LLMs are often deployed as agents, calling external tools adaptively to solve tasks. Rather than directly calling tools, it can be more effective for LLMs to write code to perform the tool calls, enabling them to automatically generate complex control flow such as...

RADEP: a Resilient Adaptive Defense Framework against Model Extraction Attacks

Machine Learning as a Service MLaaS enables users to leverage powerful machine learning models through cloud-based APIs, offering scalability and ease of deployment. However, these services are vulnerable to model extraction attacks, where adversaries repeatedly query the application programming...
