The paper introduces SHAQ, a defense called Shadow Query Generation that protects document embeddings in vector databases from embedding inversion attacks. SHAQ replaces direct embeddings with diverse shadow queries generated by a language model, thereby decomposing document semantics and decoupling stored embeddings from the original text. Experiments on various IR datasets show that SHAQ significantly lowers recovery rates, defends more tokens than baseline methods, and even improves retrieval utility.
Redakto is a new tool designed to anonymize text before it is processed by large language models (LLMs). It offers state‑of‑the‑art redaction of personally identifiable information (PII) and pseudonymization, accessible via a web interface, REST APIs, and model context protocol hooks. The authors evaluate its performance on legal and medical datasets, showing that anonymized texts retain utility comparable to the originals, enabling LLM tasks without significant loss of effectiveness.
