Differential privacy has emerged as a formal framework for protecting sensitive information in control systems. One key feature is that it is immune to post-processing, which means that arbitrary post-hoc computations can be performed on…
This paper investigates a class of optimal control problems associated with Markov processes with local state information. The decision-maker has only local access to a subset of a state vector information as often encountered in…
Federated learning (FL) is a type of collaborative machine learning where participating peers/clients process their data locally, sharing only updates to the collaborative model. This enables to build privacy-aware distributed machine…
Designing a data sharing mechanism without sacrificing too much privacy can be considered as a game between data holders and malicious attackers. This paper describes a compressive adversarial privacy framework that captures the trade-off…
The data transmitted by cyber-physical systems can be intercepted and exploited by malicious individuals to infer privacy-sensitive information regarding the physical system. This motivates us to study the problem of preserving privacy in…
Existing large-scale optimization schemes are challenged by both scalability and cyber-security. With the favorable scalability, adaptability, and flexibility, decentralized and distributed optimization paradigms are widely adopted in…
Preserving privacy of continuous and/or high-dimensional data such as images, videos and audios, can be challenging with syntactic anonymization methods which are designed for discrete attributes. Differential privacy, which provides a more…
Privacy issues and communication cost are both major concerns in distributed optimization. There is often a trade-off between them because the encryption methods required for privacy-preservation often incur expensive communication…
Differential privacy is a widely adopted framework designed to safeguard the sensitive information of data providers within a data set. It is based on the application of controlled noise at the interface between the server that stores and…
The tension between persuasion and privacy preservation is common in real-world settings. Online platforms should protect the privacy of web users whose data they collect, even as they seek to disclose information about these data to…
Deep neural networks are increasingly being used in a variety of machine learning applications applied to rich user data on the cloud. However, this approach introduces a number of privacy and efficiency challenges, as the cloud operator…
Facial recognition models are increasingly employed by commercial enterprises, government agencies, and cloud service providers for identity verification, consumer services, and surveillance. These models are often trained using vast…
We consider a database $\vec{X} = (X_1,\cdots,X_n)$ containing the data of $n$ users. The data aggregator wants to publicise the database, but wishes to sanitise the dataset to hide sensitive data $S_i$ correlated to $X_i$. This setting is…
Each agent in a network makes a local observation that is linearly related to a set of public and private parameters. The agents send their observations to a fusion center to allow it to estimate the public parameters. To prevent leakage of…
We study a class of distributed convex constrained optimization problems where a group of agents aim to minimize the sum of individual objective functions while each desires that any information about its objective function is kept private.…
Cloud computing has been a dominant paradigm for a variety of information processing platforms, particularly for enabling various popular applications of sharing economy. However, there is a major concern regarding data privacy on these…
Recently, inference privacy has attracted increasing attention. The inference privacy concern arises most notably in the widely deployed edge-cloud video analytics systems, where the cloud needs the videos captured from the edge. The video…
