Researchers have developed a theoretical framework to model adversarial attacks on large language models, framing it as a game between an attacker and a defender. This framework identifies a best-response attack strategy that closely resembles existing adversarial prompting methods and reveals inherent advantages for the attacker. The study also proposes a provably optimal defense strategy, with empirical evaluations showing its theoretically optimal attack instantiation outperforms current methods across various LLMs and benchmarks.
