N2 - Tests of local realism and their applications aim for very high confidence in their results even in the presence of potentially adversarial effects. For this purpose, one can measure a quantity that reflects the amount of violation of local realism and determine a bound on the probability, according to local realism, of obtaining a violation at least that observed. In general, it is difficult to obtain sufficiently robust and small bounds. Here we describe an efficient protocol for computing such bounds from any set of Bell inequalities for any number of parties, measurement settings, or outcomes. The protocol can be applied to tests of other properties (such as entanglement or dimensionality) that are witnessed by linear inequalities.
