Access Control as Verified Parse Constraints
Researchers verify a class of EverParse validators that correctly enforce access-control policies, deploying a machine-checked enforcement gate on seL4.
The paper targets enforcement-code bugs in commercial security gateways by proving that forward-only, backtrack-free EverParse validators are verified recognizers for a bounded finite-state class that includes access-control decision functions with fixed-offset fields and bounded disjunction. Encoding a bounded policy language into a fixed-size byte buffer allows an SMT solver to verify the enforcement code once, covering all byte values, policies, requests, and sessions. Editing rule content over a fixed endpoint set requires no new proof, while adding endpoints reruns the toolchain. A deployment on the seL4 microkernel ensures every request passes through the gate and unverified components cannot corrupt the enforcement chain.

To keep the AI hacking genie bottled up, try one-way networks
Intuition Machines CEO proposes data diodes and one-way networks to physically prevent frontier AI models from escaping training sandboxes, citing the OpenAI Hugging Face incident.
Eli-Shaoul Khedouri, CEO of Intuition Machines, argues that sandboxes, permissions, and VMs are insufficient to contain frontier models, pointing to OpenAI's hack of Hugging Face as evidence. He proposes high assurance architectures modeled on classified SCIF environments: one-way optical data diodes for training inputs and telemetry, a sel4-verified receiver, immutable snapshots of registries like PyPI, GitHub, and npm, and mocked web services. He estimates under five percent overhead per gigawatt for such clusters, but notes frontier labs have not adopted them, largely because of competitive speed rather than cost.
