The paper introduces POE2, an extension of POE for intra-process isolation using memory protection keys and new registers, providing stronger security guarantees but introducing architectural complexi…

This paper proposes HCP, a Handle-Capability Protocol runtime for MCP-style agent systems, which implements eight execution-control invariants to enhance security while preserving MCP-like workflows.

Veritas is a semantically grounded framework that detects memory corruption vulnerabilities in stripped binaries by combining static analysis, LLM-based reasoning, and runtime validation, achieving hi…

The paper proposes a bottom-up, system-oriented approach to formally verify authorization algorithms for large-scale, Byzantine fault-tolerant local-first systems, using Rust and the Verus framework.

AgenTEE is a system that enables the secure, confidential execution of complex LLM agent pipelines directly on edge devices by using isolated confidential virtual machines.

The paper proposes a two-stage post-training pipeline to create a small, local LLM agent (PrivEsc-LLM) capable of performing Linux privilege escalation, achieving high success rates while drastically…

This paper presents a build-authorized path-effect interface to enforce a boundary for compiler rewrites, ensuring trust and applicability.
