FairProof : Confidential and Certifiable Fairness for Neural Networks
Authors: Chhavi Yadav, Amrita Roy Chowdhury, Dan Boneh, Kamalika Chaudhuri
Abstract: Machine learning models are increasingly used in societal applications, yet legal and privacy concerns demand that they very often be kept confidential. Consequently, there is a growing distrust about the fairness properties of these models in the minds of consumers, who are often at the receiving end of model predictions. To this end, we propose FairProof - a system that uses Zero-Knowledge Proofs (a cryptographic primitive) to publicly verify the fairness of a model, while maintaining confidentiality. We also propose a fairness certification algorithm for fully-connected neural networks which is befitting to ZKPs and is used in this system. We implement FairProof in Gnark and demonstrate empirically that our system is practically feasible.
