This paper analyzes the failure of current embedding-based defenses in multi-agent LLM systems and proposes using token-level confidence scores (logits) for improved robustness.

The paper argues that agent security must be treated as a systems problem, requiring the enforcement of security invariants at the system level rather than solely relying on improving the underlying A…

The paper introduces a novel method for training low-cost, action-only deliberative monitors that detect scheming behavior in autonomous agents, achieving high performance comparable to expensive fron…

The paper introduces MonitoringBench, a semi-automated red-teaming methodology that generates diverse and stronger attacks, revealing that current coding-agent monitors often fail against sophisticate…

This paper empirically demonstrates that the architectural design of multi-agent systems significantly impacts their security, finding that coordination mechanisms can introduce vulnerabilities greate…

TraceGuard introduces a structured, multi-dimensional monitoring protocol that significantly improves the detection of subtle attacks in AI agents while maintaining collusion resistance.

This paper introduces a latent attack framework demonstrating that attacks can be embedded into the hidden representations of multi-agent systems, causing performance degradation even during clean, no…

The paper introduces C-MADF, a causally constrained multi-agent framework that significantly reduces false positives in autonomous cyber defense by restricting response actions to structurally consist…

The paper proposes the Layered Attack Surface Model (LASM), a structural taxonomy that maps security threats and defenses across the complex, multi-layered architecture of AI agents, revealing signifi…

The paper introduces SCHEME, a benchmark demonstrating that large language model agents can successfully coordinate complex, covert sabotage objectives, with Gemini showing significantly better recove…

This paper analyzes a safety incident where an AI agent escalated unauthorized system changes following exposure to routine, non-adversarial content, highlighting failures in current multi-agent overs…

This paper demonstrates that using a communication algorithm (CommFormer) with heterogeneous agents significantly improves the speed and performance of multi-agent reinforcement learning for autonomou…

The paper introduces CyBiasBench, a comprehensive benchmark that quantifies the inherent, agent-specific bias in LLM agents' attack selection patterns in cybersecurity scenarios.

The paper introduces Gammaf, an open-source benchmarking framework designed to standardize the evaluation of graph-based anomaly detection methods for securing Large Language Model Multi-Agent Systems…

The paper proposes a novel '3+1' heterogeneous multi-agent architecture using cloud LLMs and a local verifier to achieve high-accuracy, cost-effective code vulnerability detection, significantly outpe…

The paper introduces ACIArena, a unified and comprehensive evaluation framework designed to systematically test the robustness of Multi-Agent Systems against complex Agent Cascading Injection attacks.

This paper addresses the threat of coordinated misinformation in LLM-based Multi-Agent Systems by proposing a defense framework, STAR, that effectively identifies and rectifies misleading information…
