New auditors improve f-Differential Privacy assessment without fixed sample size

Researchers have developed new auditors to empirically assess the Differential Privacy (DP) of algorithms, focusing on the expressive $f$-DP concept. These auditors can detect privacy violations across the full privacy spectrum with statistical significance, without requiring a pre-specified sample size. The method adaptively determines the optimal number of samples, significantly reducing the sampling cost, which is particularly beneficial for expensive training procedures like DP-SGD. The auditors support both whitebox and blackbox settings and can be integrated into one-run frameworks. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more efficient and effective privacy auditing for AI models, particularly those trained with methods like DP-SGD.

    Sequential Auditing for f-Differential Privacy

    arXiv:2602.06518v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We present new auditors to assess Differential Privacy (DP) of an algorithm based on output samples. Such empirical auditors are common to check for algorithmic correctness and implementation bugs. Most existing auditors a…
