      03.05.03 Multi-Factor Authentication

      doi.org/10.6028/NIST.SP.800-171r3

      Implement multi-factor authentication for access to privileged and non-privileged accounts. This requirement applies to user accounts. Multi-factor authentication requires the use of two or more different factors to achieve authentication. … In addition to authenticating users at the system level, organizations may also employ authentication mechanisms at the application level to provide increased information security.

    2. NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5

      IA-2(1) Multi-factor Authentication to Privileged Accounts

      doi.org/10.6028/NIST.SP.800-53r5

      Implement multi-factor authentication for access to privileged accounts. Multi-factor authentication requires the use of two or more different factors to achieve authentication. The authentication factors are defined as follows: something you know (e.g., a personal identification number [PIN]), something you have (e.g., a physical authenticator such as a cryptographic private key), or something you are (e.g., a biometric).

    3. NIST SP 800-171 Rev. 3

      03.05.04 Replay-Resistant Authentication

      doi.org/10.6028/NIST.SP.800-171r3

      Implement replay-resistant authentication mechanisms for access to privileged and non-privileged accounts. Authentication processes resist replay attacks if it is impractical to successfully authenticate by recording or replaying previous authentication messages. Replay-resistant techniques include protocols that use nonces or challenges, such as time synchronous or challenge-response one-time authenticators.

      PoisonedRAG: Knowledge Corruption Attacks to Retrieval-Augmented Generation of Large Language Models

      arxiv.org/abs/2402.07867

      Existing studies mainly focus on improving the accuracy or efficiency of RAG, leaving its security largely unexplored. We aim to bridge the gap in this work. We find that the knowledge database in a RAG system introduces a new and practical attack surface. … We also evaluate several defenses and our results show they are insufficient to defend against PoisonedRAG, highlighting the need for new defenses.

    2. arXiv

      AgentPoison: Red-teaming LLM Agents via Poisoning Memory or Knowledge Bases

      arxiv.org/abs/2407.12784

      Current agents typically utilize a memory module or a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) mechanism, retrieving past knowledge and instances with similar embeddings from knowledge bases to inform task planning and execution. However, the reliance on unverified knowledge bases raises significant concerns about their safety and trustworthiness.

      Not what you've signed up for: Compromising Real-World LLM-Integrated Applications with Indirect Prompt Injection

      arxiv.org/abs/2302.12173

      We argue that LLM-Integrated Applications blur the line between data and instructions. We reveal new attack vectors, using Indirect Prompt Injection, that enable adversaries to remotely (without a direct interface) exploit LLM-integrated applications by strategically injecting prompts into data likely to be retrieved.

01The problem

Model performance degrades without search.

  • Forget exact details
  • Outdated knowledge base
  • Exclude key sources
  • Hallucinate more often
Not in the model
  • DFARS 252.204-7012
  • Breaking news
  • 72-hour forecast
  • New CVEs

02Why defense

Defense can't afford agents that guess.

  • Small models,
    scarce compute

    Edge and enclave hardware runs small agents, and small models remember even less.

  • Cyber moves
    by the hour

    New CVEs and exploits land every day. Defenders need today's record, not last year's.

  • Missions run on
    current facts

    Planning depends on weather and news that changed this morning.

Here, a hallucination doesn't cost a click. It can cost lives.
