Differential privacy (DP) is widely employed to provide privacy protection for individuals by limiting information leakage from the aggregated data. Two well-known models of DP are the central model and the local model. The former requires…
The rise of massive networks across diverse domains necessitates sophisticated graph analytics, often involving sensitive data and raising privacy concerns. This paper addresses these challenges using local differential privacy (LDP), which…
While pursuing better utility by discovering knowledge from the data, individual's privacy may be compromised during an analysis. To that end, differential privacy has been widely recognized as the state-of-the-art privacy notion. By…
Local Differential Privacy (LDP) is now widely adopted in large-scale systems to collect and analyze sensitive data while preserving users' privacy. However, almost all LDP protocols rely on a semi-trust model where users are…
As the use of differential privacy (DP) becomes widespread, the development of effective tools for reasoning about the privacy guarantee becomes increasingly critical. In pursuit of this goal, we demonstrate novel relationships between DP…
Local Differential Privacy (LDP) has been widely adopted to protect user privacy in decentralized data collection. However, recent studies have revealed that LDP protocols are vulnerable to data poisoning attacks, where malicious users…
The problem of estimating a parameter in the drift coefficient is addressed for $N$ discretely observed independent and identically distributed stochastic differential equations (SDEs). This is done considering additional constraints,…
The rapid expansion of Internet of Things (IoT) devices in smart homes has significantly improved the quality of life, offering enhanced convenience, automation, and energy efficiency. However, this proliferation of connected devices raises…
Differential privacy is becoming a gold standard for privacy research; it offers a guaranteed bound on loss of privacy due to release of query results, even under worst-case assumptions. The theory of differential privacy is an active…
The development of Internet technology enables an analysis on the whole population rather than a certain number of samples, and leads to increasing requirement for privacy protection. Local differential privacy (LDP) is an effective…
Time series have numerous applications in finance, healthcare, IoT, and smart city. In many of these applications, time series typically contain personal data, so privacy infringement may occur if they are released directly to the public.…
The shuffle model of differential privacy (DP) offers compelling privacy-utility trade-offs in decentralized settings (e.g., internet of things, mobile edge networks). Particularly, the multi-message shuffle model, where each user may…
Using real-world study data usually requires contractual agreements where research results may only be published in anonymized form. Requiring formal privacy guarantees, such as differential privacy, could be helpful for data-driven…
Differential privacy (DP) has become the de facto standard for protecting sensitive data, providing strong guarantees that published statistics or models reveal limited information about any individual. However, privacy noise and restricted…
Local differential privacy (LDP) can be adopted to anonymize richer user data attributes that will be input to sophisticated machine learning (ML) tasks. However, today's LDP approaches are largely task-agnostic and often lead to severe…
Differential Privacy (DP) provides an elegant mathematical framework for defining a provable disclosure risk in the presence of arbitrary adversaries; it guarantees that whether an individual is in a database or not, the results of a DP…
Nowadays, the ubiquitous usage of mobile devices and networks have raised concerns about the loss of control over personal data and research advance towards the trade-off between privacy and utility in scenarios that combine exchange…
Conformal prediction (CP) provides sets of candidate classes with a guaranteed probability of containing the true class. However, it typically relies on a calibration set with clean labels. We address privacy-sensitive scenarios where the…
Over the last decade there have been great strides made in developing techniques to compute functions privately. In particular, Differential Privacy gives strong promises about conclusions that can be drawn about an individual. In contrast,…
We study privacy-utility trade-offs where users share privacy-correlated useful information with a service provider to obtain some utility. The service provider is adversarial in the sense that it can infer the users' private information…
