LLMGuardian Core Package

The core package provides the fundamental building blocks and essential services for the LLMGuardian security framework. It implements critical security features, configuration management, logging, rate limiting, and exception handling.

Components

1. Configuration Management (config.py)

Manages all configuration aspects of LLMGuardian.

from llmguardian.core import Config

# Initialize configuration
config = Config()

# Access configuration sections
security_config = config.security
api_config = config.api

# Update configuration
config.update_section('security', {
    'risk_threshold': 8,
    'confidence_threshold': 0.8
})

# Get specific values
max_tokens = config.get_value('security', 'max_token_length')

Key Features:

• YAML/JSON configuration support
• Environment-specific settings
• Secure storage of sensitive configs
• Configuration validation
• Dynamic updates

2. Security Service (security.py)

Provides core security functionality and coordination.

from llmguardian.core import SecurityService, SecurityContext

# Initialize service
security = SecurityService(config)

# Create security context
context = security.create_security_context(
    user_id="user123",
    roles=["user"],
    permissions=["read", "generate"]
)

# Validate request
if security.validate_request(context, "model/generate", "execute"):
    # Process request
    pass

# Create and verify tokens
token = security.create_token(context)
verified_context = security.verify_token(token)

Key Features:

3. Rate Limiter (rate_limiter.py)

Implements rate limiting and resource control.

from llmguardian.core import RateLimiter, RateLimit, RateLimitType

# Initialize rate limiter
limiter = RateLimiter(security_logger, event_manager)

# Add rate limit
limiter.add_limit(
    "api_requests",
    RateLimit(
        limit=100,
        window=60,  # 60 seconds
        type=RateLimitType.REQUESTS
    )
)

# Check rate limit
if limiter.check_limit("api_requests", "user123"):
    # Process request
    pass
else:
    # Handle rate limit exceeded
    pass

# Get limit info
info = limiter.get_limit_info("api_requests", "user123")
print(f"Remaining requests: {info['remaining']}")

Key Features:

    ContextValidator
)

class SecureLLMApplication:
    def __init__(self):
        self.input_sanitizer = InputSanitizer()
        self.output_validator = OutputValidator()
        self.token_validator = TokenValidator()
        self.content_filter = ContentFilter()
        self.context_validator = ContextValidator()

    async def process_request(
        self, 
        prompt: str, 
        token: str, 
        context: dict
    ) -> str:
        # Validate token
        token_result = self.token_validator.validate_token(
            token, 
            token_type="jwt"
        )
        if not token_result.is_valid:
            raise SecurityError("Invalid token")

        # Validate context
        context_result = self.context_validator.validate_context(
            context
        )
        if not context_result.is_valid:
            raise ValidationError("Invalid context")

        # Sanitize input
        input_result = self.input_sanitizer.sanitize(prompt)
        if input_result.risk_level == "high":
            raise SecurityError("High-risk input detected")

        # Filter content
        content_result = self.content_filter.filter_content(
            input_result.sanitized
        )
        if not content_result.is_allowed:
            raise SecurityError("Content not allowed")

        # Generate response
        response = await self.llm.generate(
            content_result.filtered_content
        )

        # Validate output
        output_result = self.output_validator.validate(
            response,
            context=context_result.modified_context

LLMGuardian Vectors Package

The Vectors package provides comprehensive security tools for handling vector embeddings, RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) operations, and vector storage. It addresses key security concerns outlined in the OWASP Top 10 for LLM applications, particularly focusing on vector and embedding weaknesses (LLM08).

Components

1. Embedding Validator (embedding_validator.py)

Validates and secures embedding vectors against manipulation and attacks.

from llmguardian.vectors import EmbeddingValidator

# Initialize validator
validator = EmbeddingValidator()

# Validate embedding
result = validator.validate_embedding(
    embedding=your_embedding,
    metadata={
        "model": "openai-ada-002",
        "source": "user_documents"
    }
)

if result.is_valid:
    normalized_embedding = result.normalized_embedding
    print(f"Embedding metadata: {result.metadata}")
else:
    print(f"Validation errors: {result.errors}")

Key Features:

• Dimension validation
• Model compatibility checks
• Normalization
• Anomaly detection
• Checksum verification

2. Vector Scanner (vector_scanner.py)

Scans vector databases for security vulnerabilities and potential attacks.

from llmguardian.vectors import VectorScanner
from llmguardian.vectors.vector_scanner import ScanTarget, VulnerabilityReport

# Initialize scanner
scanner = VectorScanner()

# Create scan target
target = ScanTarget(
    vectors=your_vectors,
    metadata=vector_metadata,
    source="vector_db"
)

# Perform scan
result = scanner.scan_vectors(target)

if result.vulnerabilities:
    for vuln in result.vulnerabilities:
        print(f"Type: {vuln.vulnerability_type}")
        print(f"Severity: {vuln.severity}")
        print(f"Recommendations: {vuln.recommendations}")

Key Features:

• Poisoning detection
• Malicious payload scanning
• Data leakage detection
• Clustering attack detection
• Index manipulation checks

3. Retrieval Guard (retrieval_guard.py)

Secures RAG operations and protects against retrieval-based attacks.

from llmguardian.vectors import RetrievalGuard
from llmguardian.vectors.retrieval_guard import RetrievalContext

# Initialize guard
guard = RetrievalGuard()

# Create context
context = RetrievalContext(
    query_embedding=query_emb,
    retrieved_embeddings=retrieved_embs,
    retrieved_content=retrieved_texts,
    metadata={"source": "knowledge_base"}
)

# Check retrieval
result = guard.check_retrieval(context)

if not result.is_safe:
    print(f"Detected risks: {result.risks}")
    print(f"Failed checks: {result.checks_failed}")
    # Use filtered content
    safe_content = result.filtered_content

Key Features:

• Relevance validation
• Context injection detection
• Content filtering
• Privacy protection
• Chunking validation

4. Storage Validator (storage_validator.py)

Validates vector storage security and integrity.

from llmguardian.vectors import StorageValidator
from llmguardian.vectors.storage_validator import StorageMetadata

# Initialize validator
validator = StorageValidator()

# Create metadata
metadata = StorageMetadata(
    storage_type="vector_db",
    vector_count=1000,
    dimension=1536,
    created_at=datetime.utcnow(),
    updated_at=datetime.utcnow(),
    version="1.0.0",
    checksum="...",
    encryption_info={"algorithm": "AES-256-GCM"}
)

# Validate storage
result = validator.validate_storage(
    metadata=metadata,
    vectors=your_vectors,
    context={"authentication": "enabled"}
)

if not result.is_valid:
    print(f"Risks detected: {result.risks}")
    print(f"Violations: {result.violations}")
    print(f"Recommendations: {result.recommendations}")

Key Features:

• Access control validation
• Data integrity checks
• Index security validation

                metadata={"source": "user_query"}
            )
            if not query_result.is_valid:
                raise SecurityError("Invalid query embedding")

            # 2. Scan vector database
            scan_result = self.vector_scanner.scan_vectors(
                ScanTarget(
                    vectors=knowledge_base["vectors"],
                    metadata=knowledge_base["metadata"]
                )
            )
            if scan_result.vulnerabilities:
                self._handle_vulnerabilities(scan_result.vulnerabilities)

            # 3. Perform and guard retrieval
            retrieval_result = self.retrieval_guard.check_retrieval(
                RetrievalContext(
                    query_embedding=query_result.normalized_embedding,
                    retrieved_embeddings=retrieved_embeddings,
                    retrieved_content=retrieved_texts
                )
            )

            # 4. Validate storage
            storage_result = self.storage_validator.validate_storage(
                metadata=storage_metadata,
                vectors=knowledge_base["vectors"]
            )
            if not storage_result.is_valid:
                self._handle_storage_issues(storage_result)

            return retrieval_result.filtered_content
