In The Shadow Of Prompts: Adversarial Attacks And Model Cloning In Large Language Models, Kanchon Gharami
In The Shadow Of Prompts: Adversarial Attacks And Model Cloning In Large Language Models, Kanchon Gharami
Doctoral Dissertations and Master's Theses
Large-language models (LLMs) already power mission critical tasks such as command-and-control chat, satellite ground-station automation, military analytics, and cyber-defense. Since most of these services are offered through application programming interfaces (APIs) that still expose full or top-k logits and lack mature safeguards, they present a serious, often overlooked attack surface. Earlier work has shown how to rebuild the output projection layer or distill surface behavior, but no attack has produced a deployable clone within a tight query budget. In this thesis, we address this problem by presenting a practical pipeline for cloning LLMs under constrained settings. The approach first estimates …

Exploring The Capabilities Of Llms For Code-Change-Related Tasks, Lishui Fan, Jiakun Liu, Zhongxin Liu, David Lo, Xin Xia, Shanping Li
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Developers deal with code-change-related tasks daily, e.g., reviewing code. Pre-trained code and code-change-oriented models have been adapted to help developers with such tasks. Recently, large language models (LLMs) have shown their effectiveness in code-related tasks. However, existing LLMs for code focus on general code syntax and semantics rather than the differences between two code versions. Thus, it is an open question how LLMs perform on code-change-related tasks.To answer this question, we conduct an empirical study using 1B parameters LLMs on three code-change-related tasks, i.e., code review generation, commit message generation, and just-in-time comment update, with in-context learning (ICL) and parameter-efficient …

With the rapid expansion of machine learning (ML) technologies across diverse domains such as healthcare, finance, and autonomous systems, ensuring secure and trustworthy training methodologies has become more critical than ever. Proof-of-Learning (PoL) has recently emerged as a foundational mechanism for verifying the computational effort invested in training ML models, thereby certifying the authenticity and reproducibility of the training process. Yet PoL, when deployed in isolation, remains vulnerable to sophisticated spoofing attacks that manipulate its subset-verification pathways and tolerance parameters. In parallel, model watermarking has become indispensable for safeguarding intellectual property and detecting unauthorized model usage. Motivated by these complementary …

Deep learning (DL) has become a powerful tool for solving complex problems, but developing DL models typically requires vast datasets, high computational resources, and expert knowledge—barriers that limit accessibility. Machine Learning as a Service (MLaaS) addresses this challenge by allowing resource-rich providers to deliver pre-trained DL models as services. However, privacy concerns arise: clients hesitate to share sensitive data, while providers protect their proprietary models. To address this, privacy-preserving MLaaS integrates cryptographic techniques into DL computations, as seen in frameworks like Cryptonets, SecureML, GAZELLE, CrypTFlow2, Cheetah, and BOLT. Among them, Homomorphic Encryption (HE) enables computation on encrypted data but remains …
