The passage around this formula
The second is about whether differential privacy, as currently deployed in federated on-device fine-tuning, is an adequate defense or a partial one whose adequacy depends on an attacker’s sophistication. DP-FedLoRA’s authors present their calibrated-noise mechanism as delivering “strong privacy guarantees” alongside competitive model performance [ 7 ] . The Projection Residual attack was built and tested specifically to probe that class of claim, and its authors report their method holds up “even under strong differential privacy defenses” [ 6 ] . This is not necessarily a contradiction — a formal (,) guarantee bounds a specific kind of information leakage under specific…
