Autonomy in Check: Governor-Mediated Adaptive Security at the Edge
Split-control architecture adds a deterministic governor to validate LLM and rule-based planner intents before eBPF enforcement at the edge.
Researchers propose a split-control edge security architecture in which an untrusted planner emits typed security intents that a deterministic governor checks against safety, resource, temporal-stability, and proportionality invariants. Admitted actions are bound to signed receipts and compiled into pre-installed eBPF map updates. A Raspberry Pi 5 prototype on a university 5G test network admitted, rejected, and bounded intents at microsecond cost.
