New CBOM spec aims to bring SBOM-like provenance to LLM prompts

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The author proposes Context Bill of Materials (CBOM), an open specification and SDK, to address the lack of auditable provenance for data fed into large language models. Similar to Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) used for software supply chain security, CBOM provides a manifest for each prompt, detailing the origin, content hash, transformations, and sensitivity of retrieved data. This aims to improve transparency, aid in debugging issues like prompt injection, and meet regulatory requirements such as the EU AI Act's record-keeping obligations. AI

IMPACT Could improve audibility and security for LLM applications by providing a standardized way to track prompt inputs.

RANK_REASON The item proposes a new specification and SDK for LLM context management, which is a tooling-related development.
