Title: A Note on the Strategic Confinement Problem

Abstract:
arXiv:2606.09931v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Lampson's confinement problem asks how to prevent a program that processes confidential information from leaking it to a third party. We introduce the strategic confinement problem, which arises when the communicating parties are strategic agents with shared coordination resources. In this setting, residual communication capacity can be concentrated on low-entropy, high-impact predicates of the confidential data. Consequently, bounds on informati
