TL;DR · WeSearch summary

ReskSecure introduces a bitmask-based firewall that blocks disallowed tokens at the logits level before generation. The system uses YAML policies with Aho‑Corasick pattern matching and supports hard blocking or bias penalties. It integrates as a logits processor for any HuggingFace model and offers hot‑reloading of policies.

Key facts

▪Traditional LLM security tools typically scan output after generation, which can allow harmful content to be produced before detection.
▪ReskSecure operates on the logits tensor, modifying the probability distribution to prevent forbidden tokens from being sampled.
▪Policies are defined in YAML files, specifying patterns, capability bitmasks, and severity modes such as hard block or configurable bias.
▪The firewall works with HuggingFace models via the logits processor API and requires Python 3.13+ and PyTorch 2.0+.
