When Agents Handle Secrets: A Survey of Confidential Computing for Agentic AI
Javad Forough, Marios Kogias, Hamed Haddadi
Agentic AI systems, specifically LLM-driven agents that plan, invoke tools, maintain persistent memory, and delegate tasks to peer agents via protocols such as MCP and A2A, introdu…
AgenTEE: Confidential LLM Agent Execution on Edge Devices
Sina Abdollahi, Mohammad M Maheri, Javad Forough +5
Large Language Model (LLM) agents provide powerful automation capabilities, but they also create a substantially broader attack surface than traditional applications due to their t…
Dynamic Probabilistic Noise Injection for Membership Inference Defense
Javad Forough, Hamed Haddadi
Membership Inference Attacks (MIAs) expose privacy risks by determining whether a specific sample was part of a model's training set. These threats are especially serious in sensit…
GuardNet: Graph-Attention Filtering for Jailbreak Defense in Large Language Models
Javad Forough, Mohammad Maheri, Hamed Haddadi
Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly susceptible to jailbreak attacks, which are adversarial prompts that bypass alignment constraints and induce unauthorized or harmful b…
