reskSecure introduces bitmask firewall for LLM access control

The reskSecure Python package introduces a novel approach to LLM security by implementing a 64-bit permission bitmask firewall. This system encodes agent capabilities and user permissions into bits, enforcing them directly within the model's generation loop to prevent forbidden phrases and unsafe tool calls. Unlike prompt-based or post-generation filters, reskSecure intervenes at the token level, setting logits to negative infinity or applying penalties to block disallowed actions before they occur. The system utilizes a declarative YAML policy file to define rules and tool permissions associated with specific bitmasks, offering a robust defense-in-depth strategy for LLM agents. AI

IMPACT Provides a novel token-level security mechanism for LLM agents, enhancing safety and control over model outputs and tool usage.
