Intelligent prompt firewall for injection detection and policy enforcement.
This module implements a multi-layer firewall that detects malicious prompt
patterns including jailbreak attempts, prompt injection, data exfiltration,
and privilege escalation attacks using both regex-based and semantic methods.
Mathematical Foundations
------------------------
1. Regex Pattern Matching:
For pattern set P and input text T of length n:
Time: O(n · Σ|pᵢ|) with optimized regex engine
Space: O(Σ|pᵢ|) for compiled pattern storage
Reference: Cox, "Regular Expression Matching Can Be Simple And Fast" [1]
2. Semantic Similarity for Attack Detection:
Given attack corpus embeddings A = {a₁, ..., aₖ} ∈ ℝᵏˣᵈ and query q ∈ ℝᵈ:
max_sim = maxᵢ cos(q, aᵢ) = maxᵢ (q · aᵢ) / (||q||₂ · ||aᵢ||₂)
Threshold τ_sim = 0.85: flag if max_sim ≥ τ_sim
Reference: Reimers & Gurevych, "Sentence-BERT", EMNLP 2019 [2]
3. Action Priority Resolution:
When multiple rules match, select most restrictive action:
BLOCK > REWRITE > ALERT > ALLOW
Ensures defense-in-depth with strictest policy applied.
Attack Taxonomy (MITRE ATLAS [3])
---------------------------------
- T0001: Prompt Injection (ignore_previous, system_prompt_dump)
- T0002: Privilege Escalation (act_as_admin)
- T0003: Data Exfiltration (data_exfiltration, token_leak)
- T0004: Input Manipulation (sql_injection)

Performance Characteristics
---------------------------
- check_prompt() regex-only: O(n · |P|) where n=prompt length, |P|=rule count
- check_prompt() with semantic: O(n·|P| + k·d) where k=corpus size, d=embedding_dim
- Typical latency: <1ms (regex), 10-30ms (with semantic on CPU)
- Memory: O(|P|·m + k·d) for compiled patterns + corpus embeddings
