arXiv:2510. 02999v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Existing gradient-based jailbreak attacks on Large Language Models (LLMs) typically optimize adversarial suffixes to align the LLM output with predefined target responses.
The paper presents a systematic study of combining defenses against jailbreak attacks on Large Language Models across different pipeline stages. It introduces a standardized evaluation framework that defines attack-success-rate, controls query budgets, and applies explicit fairness rules. Across 19 attacks and 15 defenses, the study finds that no single defense dominates, but carefully selected combinations can provide strong safety with minimal loss of utility, offering practical guidance for layered defense pipelines.

arXiv:2607. 24392v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Jailbreak defenses are essential for protecting large language models (LLMs), but they can also introduce secondary costs that weaken model utility.
AlcaTRAz is a prompt‑level defense that uses rule trees to insert controlled character‑level perturbations into input text, disrupting jailbreak attacks without modifying or retraining the target LLM. It operates solely on the input, making it suitable for black‑box deployments, and was evaluated on 33 open‑weight models and 22 jailbreak types, outperforming three baseline defenses in 73.4 % of model‑attack combinations. While it significantly reduces high‑severity jailbreak success, it does not eliminate it and is intended as one layer of a broader defense strategy.
