Evaluating Prompt Injection Defenses for Educational LLM Tutors: Security-Usability-Latency Trade-offs
Educational LLM tutors face a core AI alignment challenge: they must follow user intent while preserving pedagogical constraints and safety policies. We present an evaluation methodology for prompt-injection defenses in this setting, showing that guardrail design entails explicit trade-offs among adversarial robustness, benign-task usability, and response latency. We evaluate a domain-specific multi-layer safeguard pipeline combining deterministic pattern filters, structural validation, contextu
