PragLocker shields LLM agent prompts from theft with model-specific obfuscation

Researchers have developed PragLocker, a novel system designed to protect the intellectual property embedded within large language model (LLM) agents. The system addresses the challenge of prompt portability, where valuable prompts can be easily copied and reused across different LLMs, leading to economic losses. PragLocker achieves this by creating function-preserving obfuscated prompts that are anchored with code symbols and then injected with noise based on target model feedback, ensuring they function effectively only with the intended LLM.
