New Locket Framework Enhances LLM Privacy and Access Control

Researchers have developed a new framework called Locket that enhances security and privacy for large language models (LLMs). Locket uses lightweight adapters, each associated with a specific access policy, and a gating module that employs learned keyed entry tokens to route requests. This system allows for fine-grained control over access to private data, enabling features like PII masking or differential privacy, without significantly compromising model utility. Experiments show Locket maintains performance comparable to fine-tuning on raw data when authorized, while effectively reducing PII leakage when unauthorized. AI

IMPACT Enhances LLM security and privacy, potentially enabling wider adoption in sensitive domains.

    Tokenized Key-Gated Adapter Routing: A Secure Access Control Mechanism Against Private Data Leakage in LLMs

    arXiv:2610.00309v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed in privacy-critical domains (e.g., healthcare, finance, and government), but their propensity to memorize and disclose personally identifiable information (PII) poses serious …
