Differential privacy allows quantifying privacy loss resulting from accessing sensitive personal data. Repeated accesses to underlying data incur increasing loss. Releasing data as privacy-preserving synthetic data would avoid this…

In this paper we consider the setting where machine learning models are retrained on updated datasets in order to incorporate the most up-to-date information or reflect distribution shifts. We investigate whether one can infer information…

Privacy has become a major concern in machine learning. In fact, the federated learning is motivated by the privacy concern as it does not allow to transmit the private data but only intermediate updates. However, federated learning does…

The change-point detection problem seeks to identify distributional changes in streams of data. Increasingly, tools for change-point detection are applied in settings where data may be highly sensitive and formal privacy guarantees are…

Most methods for publishing data with privacy guarantees introduce randomness into datasets which reduces the utility of the published data. In this paper, we study the privacy-utility tradeoff by taking maximal leakage as the privacy…

We study the central problem in data privacy: how to share data with an analyst while providing both privacy and utility guarantees to the user that owns the data. In this setting, we present an estimation-theoretic analysis of the…

The privacy-utility tradeoff problem is formulated as determining the privacy mechanism (random mapping) that minimizes the mutual information (a metric for privacy leakage) between the private features of the original dataset and a…

Differential Privacy (DP) is the current gold-standard for ensuring privacy for statistical queries. Estimation problems under DP constraints appearing in the literature have largely focused on providing equal privacy to all users. We…

This paper addresses the problem of parameter privacy-preserving data sharing in coupled systems, where a data provider shares data with a data user but wants to protect its sensitive parameters. The shared data affects not only the data…

A measure of privacy infringement for agents (or participants) travelling across a transportation network in participatory-sensing schemes for traffic estimation is introduced. The measure is defined to be the conditional probability that…

This paper studies the problem of repairing secret sharing schemes, i.e., schemes that encode a message into $n$ shares, assigned to $n$ nodes, so that any $n-r$ nodes can decode the message but any colluding $z$ nodes cannot infer any…

Data publishing under privacy constraints can be achieved with mechanisms that add randomness to data points when released to an untrusted party, thereby decreasing the data's utility. In this paper, we analyze this privacy-utility tradeoff…

A lossy source coding problem with privacy constraint is studied in which two correlated discrete sources $X$ and $Y$ are compressed into a reconstruction $\hat{X}$ with some prescribed distortion $D$. In addition, a privacy constraint is…

When users make personal privacy choices, correlation between their data can cause inadvertent leakage about users who do not want to share their data by other users sharing their data. As a solution, we consider local redaction mechanisms.…

Modern mix networks improve over Tor and provide stronger privacy guarantees by robustly obfuscating metadata. As long as a message is routed through at least one honest mixnode, the privacy of the users involved is safeguarded. However,…

There are two main factors limiting the performance of quantum key distribution --- channel transmission loss and noise. Previously, a linear bound was believed to put an upper limit on the rate-transmittance performance. Remarkably, the…
