LanG -- A Governance-Aware Agentic AI Platform for Unified Security Operations

Abstract

Modern Security Operations Centers struggle with alert fatigue, fragmented tooling, and limited cross-source event correlation. Challenges that current Security Information Event Management and Extended Detection and Response systems only partially address through fragmented tools. This paper presents the LLM-assisted network Governance (LanG), an open-source, governance-aware agentic AI platform for unified security operations contributing: (i) a Unified Incident Context Record with a correlation engine (F1 = 87%), (ii) an Agentic AI Orchestrator on LangGraph with human-in-the-loop checkpoints, (iii) an LLM-based Rule Generator finetuned on four base models producing deployable Snort 2/3, Suricata, and YARA rules (average acceptance rate 96.2%), (iv) a Three-Phase Attack Reconstructor combining Louvain community detection, LLM-driven hypothesis generation, and Bayesian scoring (87.5% kill-chain accuracy), and (v) a layered Governance-MCP-Agentic AI-Security architecture where all tools are exposed via the Model Context Protocol, governed by an AI Governance Policy Engine with a two-layer guardrail pipeline (regex + Llama Prompt Guard 2 semantic classifier, achieving 98.1% F1 score with experimental zero false positives). Designed for Managed Security Service Providers, the platform supports multi-tenant isolation, role-based access, and fully local deployment. Finetuned anomaly and threat detectors achieve weighted F1 scores of 99.0% and 91.0%, respectively, in intrusion-detection benchmarks, running inferences in $\approx$21 ms with a machine-side mean time to detect of 1.58 s, and the rule generator exceeds 91% deployability on live IDS engines. A systematic comparison against eight SOC platforms confirms that LanG uniquely satisfies multiple industrial capabilities all in one open-source tool, while enforcing selected AI governance policies.

Starfish: Rebalancing Multi-Party Off-Chain Payment Channels

Blockchain technology has revolutionized the way transactions are executed, but scalability remains a major challenge. Payment Channel Network (PCN), as a Layer-2 scaling solution, has been proposed to address this issue. However, skewed payments can deplete the balance of one party within a channel, restricting the ability of PCNs to transact through a path and subsequently reducing the transaction success rate. To address this issue, the technology of rebalancing has been proposed. However, existing rebalancing strategies in PCNs are limited in their efficiency and applicability under realistic network topologies. Cycle-based approaches only enable rebalancing among nodes that form cycles, while non-cycle-based approaches incur high on-chain operation costs. In this study, we propose Starfish, a rebalancing approach designed for the locally star-like structures formed by high-degree routing hubs and their incident channels in real-world PCNs. By leveraging a hub-centric structure, Starfish reduces the on-chain overhead of rebalancing from quadratic to linear in the number of channels, achieving high rebalancing efficiency. We formally prove the security of Starfish and conduct comparative experiments against existing rebalancing techniques to demonstrate its effectiveness.

Proof-of-Authorship for Diffusion-based AI Generated Content

Recent advancements in AI-generated content (AIGC) have introduced new challenges in intellectual property protection and the authentication of generated objects. We focus on scenarios in which an author seeks to assert authorship of an object generated using latent diffusion models (LDMs), in the presence of adversaries who attempt to falsely claim authorship of objects they did not create. While proof-of-ownership has been studied in the context of multimedia content through techniques such as time-stamping and watermarking, these approaches face notable limitations. In contrast to traditional content creation sources (e.g., cameras), the LDM generation process offers greater control to the author. Specifically, the random seed used during generation can be deliberately chosen. By binding the seed to the author's identity using cryptographic functions, the author can assert to be the creator of the object. We refer to this stronger guarantee as proof-of-authorship, since only the creator of the object can legitimately claim the object. This contrasts with proof-of-ownership via time-stamping or watermarking, where any entity could potentially claim ownership of an object by being the first to timestamp or embed the watermark. We propose a proof-of-authorship framework involving a probabilistic adjudicator who quantifies the probability that a claim is false. Furthermore, unlike prior approaches, the proposed framework does not involve any secret. We explore various attack scenarios and analyze design choices using Stable Diffusion 2.1 and XL as representative case studies.

Impact Analysis of Speech Representation Learning Models for Acoustic Side-Channel Attack

Acoustic side-channel attacks (ASCA) on keyboards have gained increasing attention, yet impact of speech representation learning models in ASCA remains unexplored. Addressing this, we introduce KEYAC, a dataset designed to analyze representation generalization for ASCA under both standard and VoIP codec settings. On KEYAC, we evaluate six representation learning models under zero-shot and partial fine-tuning settings using fully connected and convolutional networks. Results show that while partial fine-tuning improves performance, models struggle to generalize across VoIP codecs. We hypothesize this limitation stems from inadequate modeling of nonlinear feature interactions in conventional fine-tuning architectures. To address this, we employ Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KAN) for fine-tuning. Empirical results show that KAN-based fine-tuning consistently outperforms the baselines and establishes a new state-of-the-art on KEYAC.
