设计更有效的隐私探针,大幅提升大模型隐私泄露检测精度。

Privacy Auditing of Large Language Models

  • 构建新型隐私探针,在不依赖影子模型等假设下增强攻击能力。
  • 在Qwen2.5-0.5B上实现49.6%查全率(FPR=1%),远超此前4.2%。
  • 适用于真实场景下无训练权限的隐私审计,适合安全评估人员使用。

当前大语言模型(LLM)隐私审计技术效果有限——其生成的隐私探针过于简单,导致成员推理攻击强度弱,从而给出松散的隐私泄露下界。本文提出一种更高效的隐私探针设计方法,在涵盖多种现实威胁场景的设定下表现显著优于已有方法。通过对多个微调后的LLM家族进行广泛实验,验证了本方法在检测隐私泄露方面的全新标准。对于非私有训练的LLM,本方法在记忆率测量上超越先前方案。例如,在Qwen2.5-0.5B模型上,本方法实现1%假阳性率(FPR)下的49.6%真阳性率(TPR),远超之前方法仅4.2%的水平。该方法可对理论隐私预算ε=4的模型提供ε≈1的隐私审计结果。据我们所知,这是首次在攻击者无法训练影子模型、无法插入梯度探针或无法在每轮迭代访问模型的条件下,实现有意义的隐私审计成功。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Current techniques for privacy auditing of large language models (LLMs) have limited efficacy -- they rely on basic approaches to generate canaries which leads to weak membership inference attacks that in turn give loose lower bounds on the empirical privacy leakage. We develop canaries that are far more effective than those used in prior work under threat models that cover a range of realistic settings. We demonstrate through extensive experiments on multiple families of fine-tuned LLMs that our approach sets a new standard for detection of privacy leakage. For measuring the memorization rate of non-privately trained LLMs, our designed canaries surpass prior approaches. For example, on the Qwen2.5-0.5B model, our designed canaries achieve $49.6\%$ TPR at $1\%$ FPR, vastly surpassing the prior approach's $4.2\%$ TPR at $1\%$ FPR. Our method can be used to provide a privacy audit of $\varepsilon \approx 1$ for a model trained with theoretical $\varepsilon$ of 4. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that a privacy audit of LLM training has achieved nontrivial auditing success in the setting where the attacker cannot train shadow models, insert gradient canaries, or access the model at every iteration.
