Defending LLMs Against Prompt Injection
Using Mixture of Encodings to Enhance Security
This research introduces a novel defense mechanism against prompt injection attacks that safeguards LLMs from malicious instructions embedded in external content.
- Advances the existing Base64 defense with a mixture of encodings approach
- Creates unpredictability that makes attacks significantly harder to execute
- Demonstrates improved security while maintaining LLM functionality
- Addresses a critical vulnerability in LLM-powered applications
As LLMs continue to be deployed in business-critical applications, these security enhancements provide essential protection against attackers attempting to manipulate AI systems through injected prompts.
