Certified but Private: Scalable Zero-Knowledge Proofs for Neural Network Guarantees

PANDA is a scalable system that uses zero‑knowledge proofs to certify the robustness and fairness of neural networks without revealing their private parameters. Built on the CROWN robustness framework, PANDA introduces a novel algorithm for proving linear relaxation bounds on non‑linear activation layers, producing lightweight proofs. The system can generate proofs for networks with over 2.9 million parameters in just five minutes and verify them in ten seconds, scaling polynomially with network size and enabling verification of models four orders of magnitude larger than prior ZKP‑based approaches.

L-Lipschitz Gershgorin ResNet Network

The paper introduces a method for constructing L-Lipschitz deep residual networks (ResNets) using a Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) framework. By reformulating the ResNet architecture as a pseudo-tridiagonal LMI and applying the Gershgorin circle theorem, the authors derive closed‑form constraints on network parameters that guarantee Lipschitz continuity. The work also presents a compositional framework for handling recursive systems in hierarchical architectures, while noting that the Gershgorin-based approximations can over‑constrain the system, reducing expressive capacity.
