Picture the Epsilon: Pursuing Identity-Level Privacy Guarantees for Images
The paper compares four audit methods for assessing identity‑level differential privacy in pre‑trained, black‑box face generators. Each method—GaussMech, KDE‑LR, MMD‑TV, and ROC‑HT—has distinct assumptions, hyperparameters, and finite‑sample limitations, and they produce markedly different epsilon estimates when applied to FaceFusion and InstantID. The study finds that all methods reveal significant identity distinguishability, but none can be reliably ranked in this high‑distinguishability regime, suggesting that future work should evaluate them on partially private mechanisms.

Hidden In Plain Gaze: Gaze Representations as Privacy Controls for Utility and Re-identification Risk in XR
The paper investigates how different gaze data representations affect privacy and utility in extended reality (XR) systems. Three representations—raw gaze, spatial attention heatmaps, and engineered eye‑movement features—are compared using the HoloAssist dataset, evaluating action recognition accuracy and closed‑set user re‑identification. Engineered features preserve about 85% of action‑recognition performance while reducing re‑identification risk by roughly an order of magnitude, yet still leave some identity leakage, indicating that abstraction alone does not guarantee privacy.

How Private is Private? A Comparative Study for Face De-Identification
The paper introduces a unified evaluation framework for face de-identification (FDeID), addressing inconsistencies in current protocols. It presents UtilFace, a demographically balanced benchmark assembled from four large-scale datasets, and HiFD, a hierarchical metric that simultaneously measures identity suppression, multi-level utility preservation, and image quality. Using this framework, the authors compare adversarial, GAN-based, and diffusion-based methods, revealing trade-offs and failure modes that were previously hidden, and they release the benchmark and toolkit for reproducible research.
