Being a form of biometric identification, the security of the speaker identification (SID) system is of utmost importance. To better understand the robustness of SID systems, we aim to perform more realistic attacks in SID, which are…
Privacy definitions provide ways for trading-off the privacy of individuals in a statistical database for the utility of downstream analysis of the data. In this paper, we present Blowfish, a class of privacy definitions inspired by the…
We consider the problem of publicly releasing a dataset for support vector machine classification while not infringing on the privacy of data subjects (i.e., individuals whose private information is stored in the dataset). The dataset is…
Providing a provable privacy guarantees while maintaining the utility of data is a challenging task in many real-world applications. Recently, a new framework called One-Sided Differential Privacy (OSDP) was introduced that extends existing…
In recent years, differential privacy has emerged as the de facto standard for sharing statistics of datasets while limiting the disclosure of private information about the involved individuals. This is achieved by randomly perturbing the…
Background knowledge is an important factor in privacy preserving data publishing. Distribution-based background knowledge is one of the well studied background knowledge. However, to the best of our knowledge, there is no existing work…
The Anonymisation Decision-making Framework (ADF) operationalizes the risk management of data exchange between organizations, referred to as "data environments". The second edition of ADF has increased its emphasis on modeling data flows,…
In recent years, an increasing amount of data is collected in different and often, not cooperative, databases. The problem of privacy-preserving, distributed calculations over separated databases and, a relative to it, issue of private data…
Recently, a number of image-mixing-based augmentation techniques have been introduced to improve the generalization of deep neural networks. In these techniques, two or more randomly selected natural images are mixed together to generate an…
Bitcoin is a popular alternative to fiat money, widely used for its perceived anonymity properties. However, recent attacks on Bitcoin's peer-to-peer (P2P) network demonstrated that its gossip-based flooding protocols, which are used to…
Differential Privacy protects individuals' data when statistical queries are published from aggregated databases: applying "obfuscating" mechanisms to the query results makes the released information less specific but, unavoidably, also…
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…
Anonymous messaging platforms, such as Secret and Whisper, have emerged as important social media for sharing one's thoughts without the fear of being judged by friends, family, or the public. Further, such anonymous platforms are crucial…
The U.S. Census Bureau collects and publishes detailed demographic data about Americans which are heavily used by researchers and policymakers. The Bureau has recently adopted the framework of differential privacy in an effort to improve…
SynDiffix is a new open-source tool for structured data synthesis. It has anonymization features that allow it to generate multiple synthetic tables while maintaining strong anonymity. Compared to the more common single-table approach,…
We present a new class of statistical de-anonymization attacks against high-dimensional micro-data, such as individual preferences, recommendations, transaction records and so on. Our techniques are robust to perturbation in the data and…
Biases in existing datasets used to train algorithmic decision rules can raise ethical and economic concerns due to the resulting disparate treatment of different groups. We propose an algorithm for sequentially debiasing such datasets…
Differential privacy is a statistical definition of privacy that has attracted the interest of both academia and industry. Its formulations are easy to understand, but the differential privacy of databases is complicated to determine. One…
Privacy protection has become a top priority as the proliferation of AI techniques has led to widespread collection and misuse of personal data. Anonymization and visual identity information hiding are two important facial privacy…
The Bloom filter is a simple yet space-efficient probabilistic data structure that supports membership queries for dramatically large datasets. It is widely utilized and implemented across various industrial scenarios, often handling…
