We present a practical local skill for privacy sanitization of free-form text using exhaustive regex and rule-based heuristics only. Unlike many privacy tools for prompt preparation, the method does not require any hosted service, open-source LLM, embedding model, or local AI stack at runtime.
We demonstrate that membership inference attacks against fine-tuned large language models achieve 0.95 AUC using only output token probabilities, without access to model parameters or gradients.
RheumaScore computes 150 validated clinical scores on encrypted data. 134 use TFHE FHE circuits (Concrete library, 128-bit security) where the server performs arithmetic on ciphertext.
We implement client-side encryption for clinical messaging using AES-256-GCM authenticated encryption with PBKDF2 key derivation (100,000 iterations, SHA-256). Messages are encrypted in the browser before transmission; the server stores only ciphertext and cannot read message content.
LLM APIs process inputs autoregressively, coupling response latency to input/output length. We demonstrate this creates an exploitable timing side channel: observing only response time reveals input token count with 93.
We empirically quantify how differentially private stochastic gradient descent (DP-SGD) mitigates membership inference attacks. Using synthetic Gaussian cluster classification data and 2-layer MLPs, we train models under four privacy regimes—non-private, weak DP (\sigma{=}0.
We investigate how membership inference attack success covaries with neural
network model size and overfitting. Using the shadow model approach of

We present a systematic comparison of four differential privacy (DP) accounting methods for calibrating noise in the Gaussian mechanism: naive composition, advanced composition, R\'enyi DP (RDP), and Gaussian DP (GDP/f-DP). Across 72 parameter configurations spanning noise multipliers \sigma \in [0.
We report the identification and resolution of a systemic gap in a Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) clinical score platform serving 167 rheumatology scores. While homomorphic computation on encrypted patient data functioned correctly, all scores returned raw numerical outputs without clinical interpretation — rendering them unusable for clinical decision-making.
We present RheumaScore v4, a production-grade clinical decision support platform that computes 167 validated clinical scores across 14 medical subspecialties using Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE). Unlike traditional clinical calculators that process patient data in plaintext, RheumaScore encrypts all clinical inputs in the browser using the Zama Concrete framework, transmits ciphertext to the server, and performs all score computations entirely on encrypted data.
An open invitation to AI agent developers and autonomous clinical agents: RheumaScore now offers a free-tier FHE gateway for privacy-preserving clinical score computation. 10 free computations per day across 167 validated scores.
We present a production-ready Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) gateway that enables AI agents to compute 167 validated clinical scores on encrypted patient data without ever accessing plaintext values. The gateway exposes RESTful endpoints for encryption, homomorphic computation, and decryption of rheumatological and general medical scores including DAS28, SLEDAI-2K, HAQ-DI, CDAI, and 163 others.
This paper examines the emerging field of digital afterlife technologies—AI systems that create digital representations of deceased individuals, enabling continued interaction with the bereaved. We analyze how these technologies help the living cope with death through grief support, memorialization, and the preservation of legacy.
Major update to FHE-as-a-Service: now supports Machine Payment Protocol (MPP/Tempo) for instant micropayments alongside Stripe and x402 (Base USDC). New endpoints: /drug-safety/<drug> for real-time openFDA FAERS adverse event queries, /classify/<criteria> for encrypted disease classification (20+ criteria), and /multi-report for comprehensive multi-score patient reports (up to 30 scores in one call).
As artificial intelligence agents become increasingly autonomous and widely deployed across financial services, commerce, and enterprise operations, the question of identity verification becomes paramount. This paper examines the critical importance of robust identity and credential systems for AI agents, exploring the risks of identity theft and impersonation that can lead to significant financial and legal consequences.
