针对多轮对话中隐私信息累积泄露问题,提出跨轮次隐私保护框架CAMP。
CAMP: Cumulative Agentic Masking and Pruning for Privacy Protection in Multi-Turn LLM Conversations

- 构建会话级隐私注册表,跟踪多轮对话中的敏感信息
- 通过共现图计算隐私暴露风险,超阈值时回溯屏蔽历史记录
- 在医疗、招聘等场景中有效防止身份重识别,保持对话可用性
大型语言模型在代理式多轮对话场景中的部署引入了现有保护机制无法应对的隐私漏洞。当前个人身份信息(PII)屏蔽方法按轮次独立处理,仅在单轮内扫描并替换检测到的实体,但这类方法本质上无状态,无法应对跨轮次累积的隐私风险。用户在不同轮次分别披露姓名、雇主、位置和健康状况等信息,虽每条消息均未触发屏蔽,却已构成可重识别的完整画像。本文将此现象形式化为累积个人身份信息暴露(CPE),提出跨轮次隐私保护框架CAMP(Cumulative Agentic Masking and Pruning)。CAMP维护会话级PII注册表,构建共现图以建模实体类型间的组合风险,每轮后计算CPE得分,当超过可配置阈值时触发历史对话的回溯屏蔽。我们在涵盖医疗、招聘、金融及通用对话的四个合成多轮场景中评估CAMP,结果表明,传统逐轮基线会暴露可重识别的用户画像,而CAMP能成功消除该风险,同时保持完整对话功能。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The deployment of Large Language Models in agentic, multi-turn conversational settings has introduced a class of privacy vulnerabilities that existing protection mechanisms are not designed to address. Current approaches to Personally Identifiable Information (PII) masking operate on a per-turn basis, scanning each user message in isolation and replacing detected entities with typed placeholders before forwarding sanitized text to the model. While effective against direct identifier leakage within a single message, these methods are fundamentally stateless and fail to account for the compounding privacy risk that emerges when PII fragments accumulate across conversation turns. A user who separately discloses their name, employer, location, and medical condition across several messages has revealed a fully re-identifiable profile - yet no individual message would trigger a per-turn masker. We formalize this phenomenon as Cumulative PII Exposure (CPE) and propose CAMP (Cumulative Agentic Masking and Pruning), a cross-turn privacy protection framework for multi-turn LLM conversations. CAMP maintains a session-level PII registry, constructs a co-occurrence graph to model combination risk between entity types, computes a CPE score after each turn, and triggers retroactive masking of conversation history when the score crosses a configurable threshold. We evaluate CAMP on four synthetic multi-turn scenarios spanning healthcare, hiring, finance, and general conversation, demonstrating that per-turn baselines expose re-identifiable profiles that CAMP successfully neutralizes while preserving full conversational utility.
