A developer has created a four-layer framework called SPEF to combat prompt injection attacks in LLM applications. The framework, tested against 85 adversarial cases on Llama-3.3-70B, successfully reduced the attack success rate from 17.6% to 2.4%. Key to its success was proper role separation, where the system prompt is treated with higher authority than user input, a mistake made in the initial failed implementation. The SPEF architecture includes structure, sanitization, isolation, and validation layers to defend against malicious instructions embedded in user queries. AI
