Concern about how to aggregate sensitive user data without compromising individual privacy is a major barrier to greater availability of data. The model of differential privacy has emerged as an accepted model to release sensitive…
Differential privacy is a modern approach in privacy-preserving data analysis to control the amount of information that can be inferred about an individual by querying a database. The most common techniques are based on the introduction of…
We propose a novel mechanism for answering sets of count- ing queries under differential privacy. Given a workload of counting queries, the mechanism automatically selects a different set of "strategy" queries to answer privately, using…
Motivated by understanding the dynamics of sensitive social networks over time, we consider the problem of continual release of statistics in a network that arrives online, while preserving privacy of its participants. For our privacy…
Graphs are the dominant formalism for modeling multi-agent systems. The algebraic connectivity of a graph is particularly important because it provides the convergence rates of consensus algorithms that underlie many multi-agent control and…
In this work, we study trade-offs between accuracy and privacy in the context of linear queries over histograms. This is a rich class of queries that includes contingency tables and range queries, and has been a focus of a long line of…
Densest subgraph detection is a fundamental graph mining problem, with a large number of applications. There has been a lot of work on efficient algorithms for finding the densest subgraph in massive networks. However, in many domains, the…
We show a new lower bound on the sample complexity of $(\varepsilon, \delta)$-differentially private algorithms that accurately answer statistical queries on high-dimensional databases. The novelty of our bound is that it depends optimally…
Differential privacy is a well-established framework for safeguarding sensitive information in data. While extensively applied across various domains, its application to network data -- particularly at the node level -- remains…
One goal of statistical privacy research is to construct a data release mechanism that protects individual privacy while preserving information content. An example is a {\em random mechanism} that takes an input database $X$ and outputs a…
We initiate an investigation of node differential privacy for graphs in the local model of private data analysis. In our model, dubbed LNDP*, each node sees its own edge list and releases the output of a local randomizer on this input.…
Differential privacy is a notion of privacy that has become very popular in the database community. Roughly, the idea is that a randomized query mechanism provides sufficient privacy protection if the ratio between the probabilities that…
Randomized response, as a basic building-block for differentially private mechanism, has given rise to great interest and found various potential applications in science communities. In this work, we are concerned with three-elements…
In this paper we study the problem of approximately releasing the cut function of a graph while preserving differential privacy, and give new algorithms (and new analyses of existing algorithms) in both the interactive and non-interactive…
Differential privacy is a promising privacy-preserving paradigm for statistical query processing over sensitive data. It works by injecting random noise into each query result, such that it is provably hard for the adversary to infer the…
We give new mechanisms for answering exponentially many queries from multiple analysts on a private database, while protecting differential privacy both for the individuals in the database and for the analysts. That is, our mechanism's…
Numerical linear algebra plays an important role in computer science. In this paper, we initiate the study of performing linear algebraic tasks while preserving privacy when the data is streamed online. Our main focus is the space…
With the growth of online social services, social information graphs are becoming increasingly complex. Privacy issues related to analyzing or publishing on social graphs are also becoming increasingly serious. Since the shortest paths play…
We consider the problem of differentially private query release through a synthetic database approach. Departing from the existing approaches that require the query set to be specified in advance, we advocate to devise query-set independent…
Differential privacy is a robust privacy standard that has been successfully applied to a range of data analysis tasks. Despite much recent work, optimal strategies for answering a collection of correlated queries are not known. We study…
