arXiv:2605.21938v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study black-box auditing for machine learning algorithms that claim R \ 'enyi differential privacy (RDP) guarantees. We introduce an auditing framework, based on hypothesis testing, that directly estimates R\'enyi divergence between neighboring executions using the Donsker-Varadhan (DV) variational estimator. Our analysis yields explicit and non-asymptotic confidence intervals for RDP auditing via class-restricted DV estimators, separating statistical estimation error from algorithmic privacy leakage. We prove matching minimax lower bounds sho
