Beyond Visual Confusion: Understanding How Inconsistencies in ENS Normalization Facilitate Homoglyph Attacks
Published in The Web Conference (WWW), 2025
Shows that ENS homoglyph attacks are not only a visual-similarity problem but also a normalization-inconsistency problem: different clients and resolvers disagree on how to canonicalize a name, and the disagreement itself is exploitable.

PromptSleuth: Detecting Prompt Injection via Semantic Intent Invariance
Published in arXiv:2508.20890, 2025
A detector for prompt-injection attacks that reasons about the semantic intent of the input rather than matching surface patterns. Intent-invariant checks stay robust when attackers paraphrase, encode, or reorder the injected instruction.

GuardianPWA: Enhancing Security Throughout the Progressive Web App Installation Lifecycle
Published in arXiv:2509.13561, 2025
A defense that follows a Progressive Web App from install prompt through installation and runtime, closing gaps where a hostile PWA can slip privileges past the user or between browser and OS.

Demystifying Progressive Web Application Permission Systems
Published in 56th IEEE/IFIP International Conference on Dependable Systems and Networks (DSN), 2026
A measurement and analysis of the permission systems Progressive Web Applications inherit from the browser and add on top of it, and how the two layers interact in practice.

SoK: Trading Agents or Market Crashers? Dissecting Robustness and Security Failures in Academic Financial LLM Trading Schemes
Published in Under review, 2026
A systematization-of-knowledge study of the security and robustness failures reported across academic LLM-based financial trading schemes. The paper catalogs attack surfaces — prompt injection, jailbreak, prompt leaking, tool misuse — and evaluates published defenses under a common threat model.
