Researchers have developed a new auditing framework for machine learning algorithms that claim Rényi differential privacy (RDP). This framework uses the Donsker-Varadhan (DV) estimator to directly measure Rényi divergence, providing explicit confidence intervals for RDP auditing. The proposed method achieves information-theoretically optimal sample-complexity guarantees and shows empirical improvements over existing black-box methods, particularly for challenging small and moderate Rényi orders.
