This article outlines six patterns for defending against prompt injection attacks in large language models, emphasizing that defenses should not rely on the model's inherent intelligence. The author proposes implementing 'side filters' using regex and classifiers to screen indirect content like emails and documents before they reach the model. Additionally, a system of tool whitelisting and capability tokens is suggested, where the model's ability to call tools is controlled by a separate, secure token issuance mechanism rather than direct model instruction.
