The paper introduces PoSME, a cryptographic primitive that enforces strict sequential memory execution by chaining data-dependent writes, providing verifiable delay and authorship attestation.

The paper introduces the Reconstructive Authority Model (RAM), a novel framework that proves execution validity by assessing state coverage rather than just state integrity, showing that existing atte…

The paper proves that platform-deterministic inference is a necessary and sufficient condition for trustworthy AI, establishing that AI trust fundamentally relies on consistent arithmetic.

The paper introduces the concept of the atomic decision boundary, proving that for autonomous systems to guarantee execution-time admissibility, the decision and the resulting state transition must oc…

The paper proposes a tamper-proofing model for self-modifying code (SMC) by leveraging external timing, concurrency, and microarchitectural state to make non-SMC reproduction detectably expensive.

The paper introduces a certified purity architecture that strengthens governance in cognitive workflow systems by replacing insufficient runtime checks with cryptographically attested structural guara…

The paper proves that standard runtime enforcement mechanisms cannot detect systematic behavioral drift in autonomous agents, proposing a new Invariant Measurement Layer (IML) that restores observabil…

The paper introduces 'causality laundering,' a novel security vulnerability in tool-calling LLM agents where adversaries exfiltrate information by probing denied actions, and proposes the Agentic Refe…

AutoSOUP is a system that automates component-level memory-safety verification by generating Safety-Oriented Unit Proofs, leveraging a hybrid LLM-based architecture to overcome manual workflow limitat…

The paper introduces Post-Deterministic Distributed Systems (PDDS) as a new model to coordinate autonomous infrastructure where participants, including stochastic agents, produce divergent reasoning p…

This paper presents SCP, a cache partitioning design that combines strict eviction isolation with write-shared coherence to mitigate eviction-based cache side channels.

The paper proposes a novel framework, Speculative Non-Interference (SNI), and a tool, Spectector, to formally detect and verify security vulnerabilities arising from complex interactions of multiple s…

PoisonCap introduces a new 'poison' capability format for CHERI systems to provide efficient, strict use-after-free and initialization safety, surpassing existing temporal safety solutions.

The paper establishes a unified framework for timed opacity by introducing a universal observation model and defining evolution-based timed opacity, proving its relationship to existing opacity defini…

The paper develops a novel, sound, and complete deductive proof system for proving contract satisfaction, which is crucial for verifying CPU security against side-channel attacks.

The paper proposes DA-GC, a certified causal attribution framework that accurately identifies cross-slice attack origins in 6G networks under strict real-time latency constraints by systematically mod…

The paper introduces Platum, a novel framework that synthesizes verified, low-latency runtime monitors for MAVLink protocols, enabling robust enforcement of contextual message validity on resource-con…

This paper introduces a failure-aware observability framework to diagnose wasted computation in multi-agent LLM systems by mapping recurring failure modes to online trace signals.

The paper generalizes Unicity token ownership using programmable spending conditions called predicates, enabling trustless atomic swaps and smart-contract-like functionality executed off-chain.

The paper proposes a distributed, privacy-preserving monitoring architecture that uses secret-sharing to efficiently monitor systems with continuous state, overcoming the scalability issues of traditi…
