Researchers have developed a new framework called the Sensitive Entity Alias Generator (SEAG) to enhance privacy in retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems. SEAG addresses the issue of external large language models (LLMs) potentially misusing sensitive information present in user queries or retrieved documents. The framework uses a lightweight model to identify sensitive entities, replace them with aliases, and create a replacement table. This table is then used to mask sensitive data before it's sent to an external generator, ensuring that confidential information remains protected. Experiments show that SEAG models achieve over 80% accuracy in providing correct responses while hiding sensitive data, with specific models like Qwen-3, LLaMA-3.2, and Phi-4 demonstrating strong performance in masking entities.
