      <h2 id="introduction">Introduction</h2>

<p>Large Language Models (LLMs) are becoming a prominent generative AI tool, where the user enters a 
  query and the LLM generates an answer. To reduce harm and misuse, efforts have been made to align 
  these LLMs to human values using advanced training techniques such as Reinforcement Learning from 
  Human Feedback (RLHF). However, recent studies have highlighted the vulnerability of LLMs to adversarial 
  jailbreak attempts aiming at subverting the embedded safety guardrails. To address this challenge,
 we define and investigate the <strong>Refusal Loss</strong> of LLMs and then propose a method called <strong>Gradient Cuff</strong> to 
  detect jailbreak attempts. In this demonstration, we first introduce the concept of "Jailbreak". Then we present the 2-D Refusal Loss 
  Landscape and propose Gradient Cuff based on the characteristics of this landscape. Lastly, we compare Gradient Cuff with other jailbreak defense 
  methods and show the defense performance against several Jailbreak attack methods.
</p>

<h2 id="what-is-jailbreak">What is Jailbreak?</h2>
<p>Jailbreak attacks involve maliciously inserting or replacing tokens in the user instruction or rewriting it to bypass and circumvent 
  the safety guardrails of aligned LLMs. A notable example is that a jailbroken LLM would be tricked into 
  generating hate speech targeting certain groups of people, as demonstrated below.</p>

<div id="jailbreak-intro" class="row align-items-center jailbreak-intro-sec">
<img id="jailbreak-intro-img" src="./jailbreak.png" />
</div>
</div>

<h3 id="refusal-loss">Refusal Loss Landscape Exploration</h3>
<p>Current transformer-based LLMs will return different responses to the same query due to the randomness of 
  autoregressive sampling-based generation. With this randomness, it is an 
  interesting phenomenon that a malicious user query will sometimes be rejected by the target LLM, but 
  sometimes be able to bypass the safety guardrail. Based on this observation, we propose a new concept called <strong>Refusal Loss</strong> to represent the probability with which
  the LLM won't reject the input user query. Since the refusal loss is not computable, we query the target LLM multiple times using the same query and using the sample 
  mean of the Jailbroken results (1 indicates successful jailbreak, 0 indicates the opposite) to approximate the function value. Using the approximation, we visualize the 2-D landscape of the Refusal Loss below:
</p>

<div class="container jailbreak-intro-sec">
<div><img id="jailbreak-intro-img" src="./loss_landscape.png" /></div>
</div>

<p>
  From the above plot, we find that the loss landscape is more precipitous for malicious queries than for benign queries, which implies that 
  the Refusal Loss tends to have a large gradient norm if the input represents a malicious query. This observation motivates our proposal of using 
  the gradient norm of Refusal Loss to detect jailbreak attempts that pass the initial filtering of rejecting the input query when the function value 
  is under 0.5 (this is a naive detector because the Refusal Loss can be regarded as the probability that the LLM won't reject the user query).
  Below we present the definition of the Refusal Loss and the approximation of its function value and gradient, see more details about them and 
  the landscape drawing techniques in our paper.

<h2 id="proposed-approach-gradient-cuff">Proposed Approach: Gradient Cuff</h2>
<p> With the exploration of the Refusal Loss landscape, we propose Gradient Cuff, 
  a two-step jailbreak detection method based on checking the refusal loss and its gradient norm. Our detection procedure is shown below:
</p>

<div class="container"><img id="gradient-cuff-header" src="./gradient_cuff.png" /></div>

<p>
  Gradient Cuff can be summarized into two phases:
</p>
<p>
    <strong>(Phase 1) Sampling-based Rejection:</strong> In the first step, we reject the user query by checking whether the Refusal Loss value is below 0.5. If true, then user query is rejected, otherwise, the user query is pushed into phase 2.
</p>
<p>
    <strong>(Phase 2) Gradient Norm Rejection:</strong> In the second step, we regard the user query as having jailbreak attempts if the norm of the estimated gradient is larger than a configurable threshold t.
</p>

<p>
We provide more details about the running flow of Gradient Cuff in the paper.
</p>
      
<h2 id="demonstration">Demonstration</h2>
<p>We evaluated Gradient Cuff as well as 4 baselines (Perplexity Filter, SmoothLLM, Erase-and-Check, and Self-Reminder) 
  against 6 different jailbreak attacks (GCG, AutoDAN, PAIR, TAP, Base64, and LRL) and benign user queries on 2 LLMs (LLaMA-2-7B-Chat and 
  Vicuna-7B-V1.5). We below demonstrate the average refusal rate across these 6 malicious user query datasets as the Average Malicious Refusal 
  Rate and the refusal rate on benign user queries as the Benign Refusal Rate. The defending performance against different jailbreak types is 
  shown in the provided bar chart.
