Traditional electricity meters are replaced by Smart Meters in customers' households. Smart Meters collects fine-grained utility consumption profiles from customers, which in turn enables the introduction of dynamic, time-of-use tariffs.…
Utilities around the world are reported to invest a total of around 30 billion over the next few years for installation of more than 300 million smart meters, replacing traditional analog meters [1]. By mid-decade, with full country wide…
Machine Learning (ML) is crucial in many sectors, including computer vision. However, ML models trained on sensitive data face security challenges, as they can be attacked and leak information. Privacy-Preserving Machine Learning (PPML)…
Privacy protection and uncertainty quantification are increasingly important in data-driven decision making. Conformal prediction provides finite-sample marginal coverage, but existing private approaches often rely on data splitting,…
Differential privacy has emerged as the main definition for private data analysis and machine learning. The {\em global} model of differential privacy, which assumes that users trust the data collector, provides strong privacy guarantees…
Concern about how to aggregate sensitive user data without compromising individual privacy is a major barrier to greater availability of data. The model of differential privacy has emerged as an accepted model to release sensitive…
Differential privacy (DP) is a prominent method for protecting information about individuals during data analysis. Training neural networks with differentially private stochastic gradient descent (DPSGD) influences the model's learning…
Cloud computing comes with a lot of advanced features along with privacy and security problem. Smart meter data takes the benefit of cloud computing in the smart grid. User's privacy can be compromised by analyzing the smart meter data…
We investigate privacy-preserving spectral clustering for community detection within stochastic block models (SBMs). Specifically, we focus on edge differential privacy (DP) and propose private algorithms for community recovery. Our work…
Sensitive statistics are often collected across sets of users, with repeated collection of reports done over time. For example, trends in users' private preferences or software usage may be monitored via such reports. We study the…
The explosive growth of data has highlighted its critical role in driving economic growth through data marketplaces, which enable extensive data sharing and access to high-quality datasets. To support effective trading, signaling mechanisms…
Being able to release and exploit open data gathered in information systems is crucial for researchers, enterprises and the overall society. Yet, these data must be anonymized before release to protect the privacy of the subjects to whom…
In collaborative recommendation systems, privacy may be compromised, as users' opinions are used to generate recommendations for others. In this paper, we consider an online collaborative recommendation system, and we measure users' privacy…
As multi-agent systems proliferate and share more user data, new approaches are needed to protect sensitive data while still enabling system operation. To address this need, this paper presents a private multi-agent LQ control framework.…
Machine learning (ML) algorithms rely primarily on the availability of training data, and, depending on the domain, these data may include sensitive information about the data providers, thus leading to significant privacy issues.…
We study a market for private data in which a data analyst publicly releases a statistic over a database of private information. Individuals that own the data incur a cost for their loss of privacy proportional to the differential privacy…
Local differential privacy (LPD) is a distributed variant of differential privacy (DP) in which the obfuscation of the sensitive information is done at the level of the individual records, and in general it is used to sanitize data that are…
With changes in privacy laws, there is often a hard requirement for client data to remain on the device rather than being sent to the server. Therefore, most processing happens on the device, and only an altered element is sent to the…
We consider a cell-free hybrid massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system with $K$ users and $M$ access points (APs), each with $N_a$ antennas and $N_r< N_a$ radio frequency (RF) chains. When $K\ll M{N_a}$, efficient uplink…
Differential privacy (DP) is a rigorous notion of data privacy, used for private statistics. The canonical algorithm for differentially private mean estimation is to first clip the samples to a bounded range and then add noise to their…
