Modern cryptographic methods for implementing privacy-preserving LLMs such as \gls{HE} require the LLMs to have a polynomial form. Forming such a representation is challenging because transformers include non-polynomial components, such as…

This paper studies privacy in the context of complex decision support queries composed of multiple conditions on different aggregate statistics combined using disjunction and conjunction operators. Utility requirements for such queries…

Strategic information disclosure, in its simplest form, considers a game between an information provider (sender) who has access to some private information that an information receiver is interested in. While the receiver takes an action…

LLM agents increasingly draft messages on behalf of users, yet users routinely overshare sensitive information and disagree on what counts as private. Existing systems support only suppression (omitting sensitive information) and…

We define a new interactive differentially private mechanism -- the median mechanism -- for answering arbitrary predicate queries that arrive online. Relative to fixed accuracy and privacy constraints, this mechanism can answer…

We show how to efficiently simulate the sending of a message M to a receiver who has partial information about the message, so that the expected number of bits communicated in the simulation is close to the amount of additional information…

We construct a classically verifiable succinct interactive argument for quantum computation (BQP) with communication complexity and verifier runtime that are poly-logarithmic in the runtime of the BQP computation (and polynomial in the…

In a decentralized Internet of Things (IoT) network, a fusion center receives information from multiple sensors to infer a public hypothesis of interest. To prevent the fusion center from abusing the sensor information, each sensor…
