Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Improving system security during the design phase is challenging but can be costeffective in the long run. Security metrics are a way to measure and manage a system's ability to minimize possible attack opportunities. While several designlevel security metrics exist to evaluate vulnerabilities in system design, it is unclear which metrics provide a sound scientific basis for their characterization. Lack of security knowledge among average development teams and the lack of tool support are additional challenges.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
