In recent work, Cheu et al. (Eurocrypt 2019) proposed a protocol for $n$-party real summation in the shuffle model of differential privacy with $O_{\epsilon, \delta}(1)$ error and $\Theta(\epsilon\sqrt{n})$ one-bit messages per party. In…

We study $d$-dimensional unbiased mean estimation in the single-message shuffle model, where each user sends a single privatized message and the analyzer only observes the shuffled multiset of reports. While minimax-optimal mechanisms are…

We study a setting of collecting and learning from private data distributed across end users. In the shuffled model of differential privacy, the end users partially protect their data locally before sharing it, and their data is also…

We consider the setting where a user with sensitive features wishes to obtain a recommendation from a server in a differentially private fashion. We propose a ``multi-selection'' architecture where the server can send back multiple…

Local differential privacy (LDP) is a variant of differential privacy (DP) that avoids the need for a trusted central curator, at the cost of a worse trade-off between privacy and utility. The shuffle model is a way to provide greater…
