New system uses zero-knowledge proofs for private neural network guarantees

Researchers have developed PANDA, a new system that uses zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) to verify the robustness and fairness of neural networks without revealing their private parameters. Built on the CROWN framework, PANDA introduces a novel algorithm for proving bounds in non-linear activation layers, enabling efficient and scalable proofs. This system can generate proofs for networks with over 2.9 million parameters in five minutes and verify them in ten seconds, significantly outperforming previous ZKP-based methods in terms of network size and prover overhead.

    Certified but Private: Scalable Zero-Knowledge Proofs for Neural Network Guarantees

    arXiv:2608.17070v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: With the growing deployment of machine learning models, formal guarantees of the robustness and fairness of these models have become increasingly important in safety-critical and legal-compliance settings. However, model parameters …
