Advanced Persistent Threat Detection via Adaptive Dynamic Masking and Heterogeneity-Aware Projection

This paper proposes AMH-APT, a novel APT detection framework that enhances provenance graph analysis by employing an adaptive dynamic masking strategy to preserve critical attack context and heterogeneity-aware projection to maintain distinct semantic spaces for diverse entity types, thereby outperforming existing methods in both log-level and entity-level detection tasks.

Solving the Cross-Sector Generalization Gap: A Generalizable AI Framework for Detecting Known and Unseen Cyberattacks in Critical Infrastructure

This paper proposes and evaluates a single, sector-agnostic AI framework using a Random Forest classifier on a 15-dimensional feature space that successfully detects both known and zero-day cyberattacks across five heterogeneous critical infrastructure domains while distinguishing them from physical faults, thereby demonstrating that a unified, explainable model can replace multiple sector-specific intrusion-detection systems.

Designing an Ethical Framework for Multi-Agent AI Negotiation in Hospital Clinical Decision Support Systems: From Game-Theoretic Foundations to Novel Musical Chairs Coalition Convergence Game (MC3G)

This paper addresses the ethical opacity of multi-agent AI negotiations in hospital clinical decision support systems by synthesizing nine game-theoretic paradigms and proposing the novel Musical Chairs Coalition Convergence Game (MC3G) framework, which uses reputation-weighted convergence and mandatory human escalation to reduce silent failures and enhance accountability.

Risk-Adaptive Identity Assurance for Managed IoT and Communication Devices: Integrating Biometric Key Binding, QR Session Control, and Supply-Chain Posture

This paper introduces RAIA, a risk-adaptive identity assurance framework that aggregates biometric continuity, QR session integrity, role-based authorization, and device supply-chain posture to dynamically manage access risks for IoT devices, demonstrating high attack containment and low benign friction in synthetic simulations while highlighting the critical need for deployment-specific threshold calibration.
