Abstract

We consider interactive proofs for social graphs, where the verifier has only oracle access to the graph and can query for the \(i^{th}\) neighbor of a vertex v, given i and v. In this model, we construct a doubly-efficient public-coin two-message interactive protocol for estimating the size of the graph to within a multiplicative factor \(\varepsilon >0\). The verifier performs \(\widetilde{O}(1/\varepsilon ^2 \cdot \tau _{mix}\cdot \varDelta )\) queries to the graph, where \(\tau _{mix}\) is the mixing time of the graph and \(\varDelta \) is the average degree of the graph. The prover runs in quasi-linear time in the number of nodes in the graph.
Furthermore, we develop a framework for computing the quantiles of essentially any (reasonable) function f of vertices/edges of the graph. Using this framework, we can estimate many health measures of social graphs such as the clustering coefficients and the average degree, where the verifier performs only a small number of queries to the graph.
Using the Fiat-Shamir paradigm, we are able to transform the above protocols to a non-interactive argument in the random oracle model. The result is that social media companies (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, etc.) can publish, once and for all, a short proof for the size or health of their social network. This proof can be publicly verified by any single user using a small number of queries to the graph.

1
We are not suggesting that WhatsApp behave untruthfully, but merely that they had the incentive to do so.
 
2
Since any \(\varepsilon \) deviation is further divided by the \(v_i\)’s degree.
