With the increasing importance of data privacy, Local Differential Privacy (LDP) has recently become a strong measure of privacy for protecting each user's privacy from data analysts without relying on a trusted third party. In this paper,…
Density-adaptive domain discretization is essential for high-utility privacy-preserving analytics but remains challenging under Local Differential Privacy (LDP) due to the privacy-budget costs associated with iterative refinement. We…
The design of protocols for local differential privacy (or LDP) has been a topic of considerable research interest in recent years. LDP protocols utilise the randomised encoding of outcomes of an experiment using a transition probability…
Local Differential Privacy (LDP) offers strong privacy guarantees without requiring users to trust external parties. However, LDP applies uniform protection to all data features, including less sensitive ones, which degrades performance of…
Randomized smoothing is a powerful tool for certifying robustness to adversarial perturbations, including poisoning attacks via randomized training and evasion attacks via randomized inference. Extending these guarantees to backdoor…
Automated decision systems are increasingly used to make consequential decisions in people's lives. Due to the sensitivity of the manipulated data as well as the resulting decisions, several ethical concerns need to be addressed for the…
Local differential privacy (LDP) is a strong privacy standard that has been adopted by popular software systems. The main idea is that each individual perturbs their own data locally, and only submits the resulting noisy version to a data…
Local differential privacy (LDP), which perturbs the data of each user locally and only sends the noisy version of her information to the aggregator, is a popular privacy-preserving data collection mechanism. In LDP, the data collector…
LDP (Local Differential Privacy) has recently attracted much attention as a metric of data privacy that prevents the inference of personal data from obfuscated data in the local model. However, there are scenarios in which the adversary…
Local differential privacy (LDP) is an emerging privacy standard to protect individual user data. One scenario where LDP can be applied is federated learning, where each user sends in his/her user gradients to an aggregator who uses these…
Differentially private distributed mean estimation (DP-DME) is a fundamental building block in privacy-preserving federated learning, where a central server estimates the mean of $d$-dimensional vectors held by $n$ users while ensuring…
We analyze to what extent final users can infer information about the level of protection of their data when the data obfuscation mechanism is a priori unknown to them (the so-called ''black-box'' scenario). In particular, we delve into the…
Analyzing data owned by several parties while achieving a good trade-off between utility and privacy is a key challenge in federated learning and analytics. In this work, we introduce a novel relaxation of local differential privacy (LDP)…
The randomized power method has gained significant interest due to its simplicity and efficient handling of large-scale spectral analysis and recommendation tasks. However, its application to large datasets containing personal information…
Differential privacy (DP) has arisen as the state-of-the-art metric for quantifying individual privacy when sensitive data are analyzed, and it is starting to see practical deployment in organizations such as the US Census Bureau, Apple,…
Differential privacy (DP) and local differential privacy (LPD) are frameworks to protect sensitive information in data collections. They are both based on obfuscation. In DP the noise is added to the result of queries on the dataset,…
We review the use of differential privacy (DP) for privacy protection in machine learning (ML). We show that, driven by the aim of preserving the accuracy of the learned models, DP-based ML implementations are so loose that they do not…
In the recent years, Local Differential Privacy (LDP) has been one of the corner stone of privacy preserving data analysis. However, many challenges still opposes its widespread application. One of these problems is the scalability of LDP…
Confidentiality of the data is being endangered as it has been categorized into false categories which might get leaked to an unauthorized party. For this reason, various organizations are mainly implementing data leakage prevention systems…
This paper proposes a new recommendation system preserving both privacy and utility. It relies on the local differential privacy (LDP) for the browsing user to transmit his noisy preference profile, as perturbed Bloom filters, to the…
