Decision-Theoretic Steganography Detection for LLM Monitoring
Story
LLMs are developing capabilities to hide information in outputs to evade oversight. Provides formal framework for detecting steganographic behavior when classical methods fail. Relevant to agent security: models could embed hidden instructions in outputs across a chain. arXiv 2602.23163
