We continue the study of the computational complexity of differentially
private PAC learning and how it is situated within the foundations of machine
learning. A recent line of work uncovered a qualitative equivalence between the
private PAC model and Littlestone's mistake-bounded model of online learning,
in particular, showing that any concept class of Littlestone dimension $d$ can
be privately PAC learned using $\mathrm{poly}(d)$ samples. This raises the
natural question of whether there might be a generic conversion from online
learners to private PAC learners that also preserves computational efficiency.
We give a negative answer to this question under reasonable cryptographic
assumptions (roughly, those from which it is possible to build
indistinguishability obfuscation for all circuits). We exhibit a concept class
that admits an online learner running in polynomial time with a polynomial
mistake bound, but for which there is no computationally-efficient
differentially private PAC learner. Our construction and analysis strengthens
and generalizes that of Bun and Zhandry (TCC 2016-A), who established such a
separation between private and non-private PAC learner.
