VCT: A Verifiable Transcript System for LLM Conversations

Ruilin Xing, Feihong Li, Jiayue Liu et al.

Large language model (LLM) interaction records are increasingly vital in digital forensics and compliance auditing. However, traditional linear tamper-evident logs fail to capture the inherent non-linear evolution of LLM conversations, such as re-prompting based on historical queries, response regeneration, session deletion, multi-device concurrency, and selective sharing. To address this issue, this paper proposes Verifiable Conversation Transcript (VCT), which abstracts complex non-linear LLM semantic operations into account-level authenticated state transitions. VCT constructs a three-tier cryptographic data structure: atomic Q&A pairs form branch-level hash chains, branch tails aggregate into session-level Merkle roots, and all session roots are further aggregated into an account-level Merkle root anchored by joint signatures from both the user and the server. VCT introduces a serialized state transition protocol with deletion barriers to eliminate conflicts between deletion and modification, complemented by a deterministic state-merge protocol to preserve concurrent non-deletion incremental operations. Furthermore, incremental denial checks and a gossip protocol enable asynchronous user devices to autonomously detect view forks caused by malicious servers and generate non-repudiable forensic evidence. Security analysis demonstrates that, under standard cryptographic assumptions, VCT guarantees the integrity, consistency, verifiable shareability, and non-repudiation of account-level conversation records. Evaluation of a Python prototype shows that the cryptographic latency of core operations is within sub-millisecond to low-millisecond ranges. Under a realistic configuration with 21 KB of text, security metadata introduces a negligible storage overhead of only 0.9%, validating the deployment feasibility of VCT for high-stakes forensic review on production-grade LLM platforms.

Multi-view Fuzzy Graph Attention Networks for Enhanced Graph Learning

Jinming Xing, Dongwen Luo, Qisen Cheng et al.

Fuzzy Graph Attention Network (FGAT), which combines Fuzzy Rough Sets and Graph Attention Networks, has shown promise in tasks requiring robust graph-based learning. However, existing models struggle to effectively capture dependencies from multiple perspectives, limiting their ability to model complex data. To address this gap, we propose the Multi-view Fuzzy Graph Attention Network (MFGAT), a novel framework that constructs and aggregates multi-view information using a specially designed Transformation Block. This block dynamically transforms data from multiple aspects and aggregates the resulting representations via a weighted sum mechanism, enabling comprehensive multi-view modeling. The aggregated information is fed into FGAT to enhance fuzzy graph convolutions. Additionally, we introduce a simple yet effective learnable global pooling mechanism for improved graph-level understanding. Extensive experiments on graph classification tasks demonstrate that MFGAT outperforms state-of-the-art baselines, underscoring its effectiveness and versatility.
