arXiv:2604.10819v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: A recent line of work initiated by Chiesa and Gur and further developed by Herman and Rothblum investigates the sample and communication complexity of verifying properties of distributions with the assistance of a powerful, knowledgeable, but untrusted prover. In this work, we initiate the study of differentially private distribution property verification. After all, if we do not trust the prover to help us with verification, why should we trust it with our sensitive sample? We map a landscape of differentially private verification of properties of distributions. In the non-private case it is known that one-round private-coin protocols can have substantially lower complexity than public-coin (AM) protocols. In contrast, the possibility for improvement in differentially private interactive proofs depends on the privacy parameter regime and model. Drawing on connections between privacy and replicability and privacy amplification techniques in the literature we show: 1. There exists a reduction from any one-round $(\varepsilon,\delta)$-differentially private private-coin protocol to a differentially private AM protocol for the parameter regime $\varepsilon = O(1/\sqrt{s})$ and $\delta= O(1/s^{5/2})$ with the same privacy and sample and communication complexities. In the local model, this is relaxed to $\varepsilon = O(1/\sqrt{\log s})$ 2. However, when the privacy guarantee is very relaxed ($\varepsilon \in \Omega(\log s)$), private coins indeed reduce sample and communication complexities. We also obtain a …
