How to achieve differential privacy in the distributed setting, where the dataset is distributed among the distrustful parties, is an important problem. We consider in what condition can a protocol inherit the differential privacy property…
We focus on two mainstream privacy models: k-anonymity and differential privacy. Once a privacy model has been selected, the goal is to enforce it while preserving as much data utility as possible. The main objective of this thesis is to…
Molecular communication (MC) enables information exchange in nanoscale sensor networks operating in biological environments, yet privacy remains largely unaddressed. We integrate local differential privacy (LDP) into diffusion-based MC by…
Many existing mechanisms for achieving differential privacy (DP) on infinite-dimensional functional summaries typically involve embedding these functional summaries into finite-dimensional subspaces and applying traditional multivariate DP…
Despite excellent theoretical support, Differential Privacy (DP) can still be a challenge to implement in practice. In part, this challenge is due to the concerns associated with translating arbitrary- or infinite-precision theoretical…
LDP (Local Differential Privacy) has been widely studied to estimate statistics of personal data (e.g., distribution underlying the data) while protecting users' privacy. Although LDP does not require a trusted third party, it regards all…
Differential privacy (DP) data synthesizers support public release of sensitive information, offering theoretical guarantees for privacy but limited evidence of utility in practical settings. Utility is typically measured as the error on…
In the recent decades, the advance of information technology and abundant personal data facilitate the application of algorithmic personalized pricing. However, this leads to the growing concern of potential violation of privacy due to…
Local Differential Privacy (LDP) is the gold standard trust model for privacy-preserving machine learning by guaranteeing privacy at the data source. However, its application to image data has long been considered impractical due to the…

When collecting information, local differential privacy (LDP) alleviates privacy concerns of users because their private information is randomized before being sent it to the central aggregator. LDP imposes large amount of noise as each…
In distributed optimization and iterative consensus literature, a standard problem is for $N$ agents to minimize a function $f$ over a subset of Euclidean space, where the cost function is expressed as a sum $\sum f_i$. In this paper, we…
Differentially private distributed stochastic optimization has become a hot topic due to the urgent need of privacy protection in distributed stochastic optimization. In this paper, two-time scale stochastic approximation-type algorithms…
Elliptically symmetric distributions are a classic example of a semiparametric model where the location vector and the scatter matrix (or a parameterization of them) are the two finite-dimensional parameters of interest, while the density…
We study the $\ell_2$ mechanism for computing a $d$-dimensional statistic with bounded $\ell_2$ sensitivity under approximate differential privacy. Across a range of privacy parameters, we find that the $\ell_2$ mechanism obtains lower…
Protection of individual privacy is a common concern when releasing and sharing data and information. Differential privacy (DP) formalizes privacy in probabilistic terms without making assumptions about the background knowledge of data…
Stream data from real-time distributed systems such as IoT, tele-health, and crowdsourcing has become an important data source. However, the collection and analysis of user-generated stream data raise privacy concerns due to the potential…
Differential privacy (DP) is the de facto notion of privacy both in theory and in practice. However, despite its popularity, DP imposes strict requirements which guard against strong worst-case scenarios. For example, it guards against…
