DIALEVAL: Automated Type-Theoretic Evaluation of LLM Instruction Following
Nardine Basta, Dali Kaafar
Evaluating instruction following in Large Language Models requires decomposing instructions into verifiable requirements and assessing satisfaction--tasks currently dependent on ma…
Pro-ZD: A Transferable Graph Neural Network Approach for Proactive Zero-Day Threats Mitigation
Nardine Basta, Firas Ben Hmida, Houssem Jmal +3
In today's enterprise network landscape, the combination of perimeter and distributed firewall rules governs connectivity. To address challenges arising from increased traffic and…
Bot Wars Evolved: Orchestrating Competing LLMs in a Counterstrike Against Phone Scams
Nardine Basta, Conor Atkins, Dali Kaafar
We present "Bot Wars," a framework using Large Language Models (LLMs) scam-baiters to counter phone scams through simulated adversarial dialogues. Our key contribution is a formal…
SpaLLM-Guard: Pairing SMS Spam Detection Using Open-source and Commercial LLMs
Muhammad Salman, Muhammad Ikram, Nardine Basta +1
The increasing threat of SMS spam, driven by evolving adversarial techniques and concept drift, calls for more robust and adaptive detection methods. In this paper, we evaluate the…
ConvoCache: Smart Re-Use of Chatbot Responses
Conor Atkins, Ian Wood, Mohamed Ali Kaafar +3
We present ConvoCache, a conversational caching system that solves the problem of slow and expensive generative AI models in spoken chatbots. ConvoCache finds a semantically simila…
SPGNN-API: A Transferable Graph Neural Network for Attack Paths Identification and Autonomous Mitigation
Houssem Jmal, Firas Ben Hmida, Nardine Basta +3
Attack paths are the potential chain of malicious activities an attacker performs to compromise network assets and acquire privileges through exploiting network vulnerabilities. At…
5G-Enabled Pseudonymity for Cooperative Intelligent Transportation System
Nardine Basta, Ming Ding, Muhammad Ikram +1
Cooperative Intelligent Transportation Systems (C-ITS) enable communications between vehicles, road-side infrastructures, and road-users to improve users' safety and to efficiently…
Towards a Zero-Trust Micro-segmentation Network Security Strategy: An Evaluation Framework
Nardine Basta, Muhammad Ikram, Mohamed Ali Kaafar +1
Micro-segmentation is an emerging security technique that separates physical networks into isolated logical micro-segments (workloads). By tying fine-grained security policies to i…
