PIPES: Securing Agent Perception with Provenance and Priors

Tool-using agents consume external data from sources with different levels of trust, yet tool responses rarely identify who produced each component or what it should convey. We show that this gap enables state-corruption attacks, in which attacker-controlled content makes environmental claims beyond the informational authority of its response component and corrupts the agent's perceived environment, making the resulting action appear justified to existing guardrails.

Trusted Hardware Acceleration for Function Secret Sharing

Function secret sharing (FSS) is a core building block for privacy-preserving systems such as secure inference and private information retrieval (PIR), but incurs significant overhead in key generation, communication, and data this http URL present the distributed function accelerator (DFA), a hardware accelerator that targets the dominant primitive in FSS: distributed point function (DPF) generation and evaluation.

CUDA-Q Logical: Retargetable Compilation for Fault Tolerant Quantum Computing

Realizing fault-tolerant quantum computing requires mapping logical programs to heterogeneous quantum error correction (QEC) codes and diverse fault-tolerant execution models, scheduling  physical resources, and coupling to real-time classical control and feedback. Specialized tools exist for each step but rely on manual composition and translation that discard assumptions and provenance, separating resource estimates from the compiler artifacts they describe, and making it difficult to validate correctness, compare architectures, or attribute costs to specific design choices.
