We present a framework for designing distorting mechanisms that allow remotely operating anomaly detectors while preserving privacy. We consider the problem setting in which a remote station seeks to identify anomalies using system…
Differential privacy is a formal mathematical {stand-ard} for quantifying the degree of that individual privacy in a statistical database is preserved. To guarantee differential privacy, a typical method is adding random noise to the…
Prior research states that frequencies below 75 Hz in eye-tracking data represent the primary eye movement termed ``signal'' while those above 75 Hz are deemed ``noise''. This study examines the biometric significance of this signal-noise…
Differential privacy is a de facto privacy framework that has seen adoption in practice via a number of mature software platforms. Implementation of differentially private (DP) mechanisms has to be done carefully to ensure end-to-end…
