Flip, Don't Shuffle: Watermarking LLMs at the Speed of Inference

We introduce Stateless Bernoulli Watermarking (SBW), a new statistical watermark for Large Language Models that determines green list membership through independent per-token Bernoulli trials. Unlike KGW's vocabulary permutation or SynthID's multi-layer tournament, SBW requires only a single comparison per token against a counter-based random number generator, reducing membership complexity to $O(1)$ and enabling single-kernel execution with zero intermediate allocations.

FeatMark: Feature-level Watermark Protection against Mimicry Attacks with Diffusion Models

FeatMark is a watermarking framework that protects images from text‑to‑image diffusion model mimicry attacks by embedding small, scene‑consistent micro‑features instead of pixel‑level perturbations. It constructs domain‑specific feature banks, selects executable features, and injects them via mask‑guided concept editing to create highly localized, natural edits. Experiments on VGGFace2, CelebA‑HQ, and WikiArt show FeatMark remains robust against ten strong watermark removal attacks and several adaptive attacks, with minimal impact on perceptual quality and extending to video mimicry scenarios.
