With the generation of personal and medical data at several locations, medical data science faces unique challenges when working on distributed datasets. Growing data protection requirements in recent years drastically limit the use of…
In modern datasets, where single records can have multiple owners, enforcing user-level differential privacy requires capping each user's total contribution. This "contribution bounding" becomes a significant combinatorial challenge.…
E-governance is a process that aims to enhance a government's ability to simplify all the processes that may involve government, citizens, businesses, and so on. The rapid evolution of digital technologies has often created the necessity…
Differential privacy has recently emerged as the de facto standard for private data release. This makes it possible to provide strong theoretical guarantees on the privacy and utility of released data. While it is well-known how to release…
Decentralized optimization is gaining increased traction due to its widespread applications in large-scale machine learning and multi-agent systems. The same mechanism that enables its success, i.e., information sharing among participating…
We consider the critical problem of distributed learning over data while keeping it private from the computational servers. The state-of-the-art approaches to this problem rely on quantizing the data into a finite field, so that the…
Across academia, government, and industry, data stewards are facing increasing pressure to make datasets more openly accessible for researchers while also protecting the privacy of data subjects. Differential privacy (DP) is one promising…
Third-party analysis on private records is becoming increasingly important due to the widespread data collection for various analysis purposes. However, the data in its original form often contains sensitive information about individuals,…
Electronic Health Records (EHRs) store sensitive patient information, necessitating stringent access control and sharing mechanisms to uphold data security and comply with privacy regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation…
Complex event processing (CEP) is a powerful and increasingly more important tool to analyse data streams for Internet of Things (IoT) applications. These data streams often contain private information that requires proper protection.…
Cloud native systems are processing large amounts of personal data through numerous and possibly multi-paradigmatic data stores (e.g., relational and non-relational databases). From a privacy engineering perspective, a core challenge is to…
Demand response (DR) programs engage distributed demand-side resources, e.g., controllable residential and commercial loads, in providing ancillary services for electric power systems. Ensembles of these resources can help reducing system…
Data spaces represent an emerging paradigm that facilitates secure and trusted data exchange through foundational elements of data interoperability, sovereignty, and trust. Within a data space, data items, potentially owned by different…
Distributed health data networks that use information from multiple sources have drawn substantial interest in recent years. However, missing data are prevalent in such networks and present significant analytical challenges. The current…
Public services collect massive volumes of data to fulfill their missions. These data fuel the generation of regional, national, and international statistics across various sectors. However, their immense potential remains largely untapped…
Cloud business intelligence is an increasingly popular choice to deliver decision support capabilities via elastic, pay-per-use resources. However, data security issues are one of the top concerns when dealing with sensitive data. In this…
Differentially private data generation techniques have become a promising solution to the data privacy challenge -- it enables sharing of data while complying with rigorous privacy guarantees, which is essential for scientific progress in…
Large amount of data is often required to train and deploy useful machine learning models in industry. Smaller enterprises do not have the luxury of accessing enough data for machine learning, For privacy sensitive fields such as banking,…
In recent years, the amount of information collected about human beings has increased dramatically. This development has been partially driven by individuals posting and storing data about themselves and friends using online social networks…
We present a technical case study on the Privacy-Enhancing Technologies (PETs) for Public Health Challenge, a collaborative effort to safely leverage sensitive private sector data for social impact, specifically pandemic management. The…
