LLM-Firewall: A Lightweight Middleware Architecture for Real-Time Detection of Indirect Prompt Injection in Enterprise RAG Systems

A middleware design placed between retrieval and inference, with a cross-document correlation mechanism for adversarial instructions distributed across retrieved chunks. The paper reports an evaluation over 5,000 adversarial scenarios.

Retrieved content is a trust boundary

A threat-model note on provenance, cross-document composition, and the point where relevant data becomes model context.

Reproducible experiment
