New Audits Reveal Significant Privacy Gaps in Face Generation Models

Researchers have developed and compared four distinct methods for auditing the differential privacy guarantees of image-to-image face generation systems. These methods, including a Gaussian mechanism approach, kernel density log-ratio, maximum mean discrepancy, and hypothesis testing, were applied to the FaceFusion and InstantID models. The study revealed significant identity distinguishability in the generated images across all tested methods, though the reported privacy parameter estimates varied considerably due to each method's unique assumptions and finite-sample limitations.

    Picture the Epsilon: Pursuing Identity-Level Privacy Guarantees for Images

    arXiv:2608.17147v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Image-to-image face generators are widely used, and visual dissimilarity between their outputs and source images is sometimes treated as evidence of privacy. Auditing whether these systems satisfy formal identity-level (epsilon, d…
