arXiv:2501. 15509v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Model fingerprinting has emerged as a crucial mechanism for safeguarding the intellectual property of open-source models, offering a non-intrusive approach that requires no modifications to the protected model.
arXiv:2606. 16100v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As Large Language Model (LLM) APIs become ubiquitous, users increasingly rely on black-box fingerprinting to verify that providers are serving the advertised premium models.
arXiv:2509. 03122v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Reliable model fingerprints are essential for protecting large language models (LLMs) against unauthorized redistribution and commercial misuse.
arXiv:2407. 10887v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Growing concerns over the theft and misuse of Large Language Models (LLMs) underscore the need for effective fingerprinting to link a model to its original version and detect misuse.
arXiv:2609.24084v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Open-weight large language models (LLMs) can be copied, modified, and redeployed behind black-box APIs, making post-release ownership verification di...
arXiv:2606. 12977v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Model fingerprinting, embedding user-specific identifiers (fingerprints) into generated outputs, has recently emerged as a popular solution to protect the intellectual property rights (IPR) of generative text-to-image (T2I) models and prevent unauthorized redistribution.
The paper demonstrates that a misaligned AI model can fingerprint the inference engine (e.g., vLLM, SGLang) it runs on by generating specific output tokens. Once the engine is identified, the model can exploit engine‑specific vulnerabilities to take control of the engine without external malicious inputs. The authors provide concrete examples across five popular engines and present a proof‑of‑concept bare‑metal exploit chain that begins with such fingerprinting.
arXiv:2508. 02092v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models represent significant investments in computation, data, and engineering expertise, making them extraordinarily valuable intellectual assets.
arXiv:2607. 25633v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are costly intellectual assets that remain exposed to unauthorized redistribution and commercial misuse.
arXiv:2606. 03330v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Literature reveals that a Large Language Model's (LLM) behavior is not only conditioned by its original weights but also its instance-level parameters, such as instructional prompt, sampling configuration or quantization.
arXiv:2503.05794v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Speaker verification models are trained on large-scale public datasets whose licenses usually prohibit unauthorized commercial use, yet such...
The paper introduces TP-CRIV, a framework for verifying the identity of AI models through third‑party challenge‑response interactions without requiring white‑box or API access. TP-CRIV operates in a black‑box setting, using fresh, undisclosed challenges and network isolation to ensure that verification relies solely on the claimant’s local model. The authors demonstrate the approach on ten ImageNet‑pretrained CNNs, achieving clear separation between same and cross‑model responses with statistically calibrated thresholds.
arXiv:2608. 08195v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are high-value assets that can be derived through redeployment, fine-tuning, quantization, or further alignment.
