01 02 Toward Stronger Code Watermarking: A Grammar-Driven Approach to Optimizing the Trade-off Between Quality and Detectability arxiv.orgGrammar-driven code watermarking, using syntax-aware masking and role biasing instead of the usual token twitching.03 Noir circuit repo for Merkle membership proofs with Poseidon2, plus tests for valid and invalid paths.04 PromptGraph: Graph-Guided Prompt Sanitization for Balancing Privacy and Utility in LLM Inference arxiv.orgCan a graph over prompt spans scrub PII without torching LLM utility?05 HashiCorp's PQC prep guide says inventory your crypto now, or harvest-now-decrypt-later will do it for you.06 Ammolite Security and Myntex Showcase Post-Quantum Secure Communications at NATO SHINE 2025 — by Myntex Inc youtu.beYouTube video of Myntex/Ammolite’s NATO SHINE 2025 demo of post-quantum secure comms, because quantum fear sells hardware.07 What if digital credentials were designed around verifier steps, not issuer wishful thinking?08 Paper tests watermark-like logit perturbations against black-box LLM theft, then measures how much utility gets shaved off.09 Can an LLM write EasyCrypt proofs, and this repo ships the MCP workflow, benchmarks, and replay logs to find out.10 Front-running meets a power-weighted lottery here, and the paper claims that makes sandwiching uneconomic.11 The gateway moves into the client, which then proves it deserves access in a zkVM; RISC Zero demo for XACML and JWTs.12 Trust cosplay, in a single table: compare bridge assumptions for Axelar, LayerZero, Wormhole, CCIP, Hyperlane, and friends.13 Devil in the Lens: Analyzing and Defending Physical Prompt Injection Against Vision-Language Models on Wearable Devices arxiv.orgPhysical prompt injection on AI glasses works across VLMs; the paper also benchmarks a mask filter and semantic detector.14 Paper on Ethereum governance's hidden authority graph, with a deterministic reconstruction scheme, because visibility is hard.15 Research prototype for EasyCrypt lemma proofs, using an MCP agent to spit out admit-free scripts and replay-check them.16 Byzantine Accountability Without Consensus: Strong Eventual Consistency for Non-Associative, Stochastic, Robust Aggregation arxiv.orgACFA: consensus-free Byzantine replication for robust aggregators like multi-Krum, by CRDTing signed contributions and equivocations.17 A post-quantum migration pitch that, sensibly, starts with inventory and CBOMs instead of swapping algorithms in a panic.18 Need the docs for PODs, GPCs, and ZApps, aka programmable cryptography over user-owned data?19 Docs for Midnight, a ZK privacy chain with selective disclosure, plus runtime, proving, tx semantics, and operator guides.20 Need a machine-checked PCS spec and KZG proofs in Isabelle, or just the games and assumptions? This AFP entry has both.21 A Security magazine recap of PQC adoption, NIST standards, CNSA 2.0 timelines, and the usual harvest-now-decrypt-later anxiety.22 One Token Is Enough: Fingerprinting and Verifying Large Language Models from Single-Token Output Distributions arxiv.orgInstead of probing internals, this fingerprints LLMs from trivial one-token distributions and still tracks lineage through API chains.23 ArXiv paper on image encryption via E91 keys, Lorenz chaos, and reservoir computing, with the usual NPCR/UACI ritual.24 ARMOR-IMC: Adaptive Resource Mapping for Operational Robustness via Secure In-Memory Computing arxiv.orgPost-training defense for analog in-memory accelerators, maps around process faults and power leakage without retraining.25 Report on ZWEICHAIN-Q, a PQ finality/evidence layer with real signature tests, deterministic roots, and restart metrics.26 LLM-guided evolution breaks perceptual hashes like pHash, PDQ, PhotoDNA, and NeuralHash in black-box mode, because apparently those work...27 Windows Insider builds ship SymCrypt SHA-3 and ML-KEM with Lean-checked Rust proofs, because proof debt is now product work.28 Google's 2029 quantum crypto warning is just the old Shor panic with a date stamp and a blockchain angle.29 Can you trust Opal2 SEDs on Linux? This black-box study of 38 drives says firmware bugs and incompatibilities say no.30 Chromium's PQ HTTPS plan meets enterprise fossils: subdomain cookies and TLS-inspecting proxies that break hybrid handshakes.
