Kernel-Complexity Edge Sanitization (KCES) is a training‑free, model‑agnostic defense for Graph Neural Networks that identifies and removes edges with high Kernel‑Complexity (KC) scores, which are indicative of structural influence on the graph kernel complexity metric. KCES leverages a theoretical upper bound on GNN test error derived from the graph Gram matrix to compute edge‑specific KC scores, pruning edges that are empirically enriched with adversarial perturbations. The method is computationally efficient, scalable to large graphs, and consistently outperforms representative robust baselines across diverse attack settings without requiring retraining.
