In this paper we present the Sampling Privacy mechanism for privately releasing personal data. Sampling Privacy is a sampling based privacy mechanism that satisfies differential privacy.
Local differential privacy (LPD) is a distributed variant of differential privacy (DP) in which the obfuscation of the sensitive information is done at the level of the individual records, and in general it is used to sanitize data that are…
Differential privacy (DP) is typically formulated as a worst-case privacy guarantee over all individuals in a database. More recently, extensions to individual subjects or their attributes, have been introduced. Under the…
In the literature of data privacy, differential privacy is the most popular model. An algorithm is differentially private if its outputs with and without any individual's data are indistinguishable. In this paper, we focus on data generated…
Sequential querying of differentially private mechanisms degrades the overall privacy level. In this paper, we answer the fundamental question of characterizing the level of overall privacy degradation as a function of the number of queries…
Differential privacy (DP) is a promising framework for privacy-preserving data science, but recent studies have exposed challenges in bringing this theoretical framework for privacy into practice. These tensions are particularly salient in…
The Laplace mechanism is the workhorse of differential privacy, applied to many instances where numerical data is processed. However, the Laplace mechanism can return semantically impossible values, such as negative counts, due to its…
In recent years, Local Differential Privacy (LDP), a robust privacy-preserving methodology, has gained widespread adoption in real-world applications. With LDP, users can perturb their data on their devices before sending it out for…
The integration of Differential Privacy (DP) with diffusion models (DMs) presents a promising yet challenging frontier, particularly due to the substantial memorization capabilities of DMs that pose significant privacy risks. Differential…
Machine learning models in health care are often deployed in settings where it is important to protect patient privacy. In such settings, methods for differentially private (DP) learning provide a general-purpose approach to learn models…
When sharing data among researchers or releasing data for public use, there is a risk of exposing sensitive information of individuals in the data set. Data synthesis (DS) is a statistical disclosure limitation technique for releasing…
Differential privacy is a popular privacy model within the research community because of the strong privacy guarantee it offers, namely that the presence or absence of any individual in a data set does not significantly influence the…
Graph data is increasingly prevalent across domains, offering analytical value but raising significant privacy concerns. Edges may encode sensitive relationships, while node attributes may contain sensitive entity or personal data.…
Label differential privacy (DP) is designed for learning problems involving private labels and public features. While various methods have been proposed for learning under label DP, the theoretical limits remain largely unexplored. In this…
We study the accuracy of differentially private mechanisms in the continual release model. A continual release mechanism receives a sensitive dataset as a stream of $T$ inputs and produces, after receiving each input, an accurate output on…
Since being proposed in 2006, differential privacy has become a standard method for quantifying certain risks in publishing or sharing analyses of sensitive data. At its heart, differential privacy measures risk in terms of the differences…
Local differential privacy (LDP), a technique applying unbiased statistical estimations instead of real data, is often adopted in data collection. In particular, this technique is used with frequency oracles (FO) because it can protect each…
Differential privacy (DP) is a popular mechanism for training machine learning models with bounded leakage about the presence of specific points in the training data. The cost of differential privacy is a reduction in the model's accuracy.…
Differential privacy (DP) and local differential privacy (LPD) are frameworks to protect sensitive information in data collections. They are both based on obfuscation. In DP the noise is added to the result of queries on the dataset,…
Differential Privacy (DP) has become a gold standard in privacy-preserving data analysis. While it provides one of the most rigorous notions of privacy, there are many settings where its applicability is limited. Our main contribution is in…
