SimpleMark: Fast Multi-Bit Text Watermarking under f -Divergence Constraints

Benjamin D. Kim, Wanrong Zhang, Weitong Ruan +2

We introduce a framework for multi-bit text watermarking with security defined directly through -divergence from the base language model distribution. Unlike prior approaches th…

Optimal Guarantees for Auditing Rényi Differentially Private Machine Learning

Benjamin D. Kim, Lav R. Varshney, Daniel Alabi

We study black-box auditing for machine learning algorithms that claim R \ 'enyi differential privacy (RDP) guarantees. We introduce an auditing framework, based on hypothesis test…

Scalable Multiterminal Key Agreement via Error-Correcting Codes

Benjamin D. Kim, Daniel Alabi, Lav R. Varshney

We explore connections between secret sharing and secret key agreement, which yield a simple and scalable multiterminal key agreement protocol. In our construction, we use error-co…

Robust DDoS-Attack Classification with 3D CNNs Against Adversarial Methods

Landon Bragg, Nathan Dorsey, Josh Prior +4

Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks remain a serious threat to online infrastructure, often bypassing detection by altering traffic in subtle ways. We present a method usi…
