System Telemetry & Anomaly Detection

Defensive instrumentation inspecting protocol state machines, TLS handshake deviations, and unusual payload entropy. Operating in passive monitoring mode to establish mathematical baselines for normal cluster behavior.

AI Agent Security & Privilege Gating

As AI agents gain access to filesystems and APIs, we research containment harnesses: deterministic permission tokens, unambiguous tool-calling schemas, and real-time AST parsing to prevent unintended system modification.

DOMAIN 01

Attack Surface Analysis

Developing graph-based algorithms that model exposed endpoints, identity mappings, and dependency trees across complex distributed systems.

DOMAIN 02

AI Safety & Prompt Isolation

Investigating indirect prompt injection, data exfiltration through context windows, and cryptographic isolation barriers between user prompts and internal tool tokens.

DOMAIN 03

Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure

Our laboratory works strictly within responsible disclosure frameworks. Findings are reported privately to maintainers with adequate remediation windows prior to public discussion.
