Protecting location privacy in mobile services has recently received significant consideration as Location-Based Service (LBS) can reveal user locations to attackers. A problem in the existing cloaking schemes is that location…
The private collection of multiple statistics from a population is a fundamental statistical problem. One possible approach to realize this is to rely on the local model of differential privacy (LDP). Numerous LDP protocols have been…
Although the bulk of the research in privacy and statistical disclosure control is designed for cross-sectional data, i.e. data where individuals are observed at one single point in time, longitudinal data, i.e. individuals observed over…
Modern applications significantly enhance user experience by adapting to each user's individual condition and/or preferences. While this adaptation can greatly improve utility or be essential for the application to work (e.g., for…
Location-Based Service (LBS) becomes increasingly popular with the dramatic growth of smartphones and social network services (SNS), and its context-rich functionalities attract considerable users. Many LBS providers use users' location…
This paper revisits the problem of multi-server Private Information Retrieval with Private Side Information (PIR-PSI). In this problem, $N$ non-colluding servers store identical copies of $K$ messages, each comprising $L$ symbols from…
Network embedding represents network nodes by a low-dimensional informative vector. While it is generally effective for various downstream tasks, it may leak some private information of networks, such as hidden private links. In this work,…
A multi-user private data compression problem is studied. A server has access to a database of $N$ files, $(Y_1,...,Y_N)$, each of size $F$ bits and is connected to an encoder. The encoder is connected through an unsecured link to a user.…
In recent years, with the continuous development of significant data industrialization, trajectory data have more and more critical analytical value for urban construction and environmental monitoring. However, the trajectory contains a lot…
We consider the problem of symmetric private information retrieval (SPIR) with user-side common randomness. In SPIR, a user retrieves a message out of $K$ messages from $N$ non-colluding and replicated databases in such a way that no single…
Protecting the privacy of keywords in the field of search over outsourced cloud data is a challenging task. In IEEE Transactions on Services Computing (Vol. 17 No. 2, March/April 2024), Li et al. proposed PRMKR: efficient privacy-preserving…
Location-Based Services (LBSs) offer significant convenience to mobile users but pose significant privacy risks, as attackers can infer sensitive personal information through spatiotemporal correlations in user trajectories. Since users'…
With the popularity of GPS-enabled devices, a huge amount of trajectory data has been continuously collected and a variety of location-based services have been developed that greatly benefit our daily life. However, the released…
This paper presents new solutions for Private Information Retrieval (PIR) with side information. This problem is motivated by PIR settings in which a client has side information about the data held by the servers and would like to leverage…
Rapid growth in the popularity of AR/VR/MR applications and cloud-based visual localization systems has given rise to an increased focus on the privacy of user content in the localization process. This privacy concern has been further…
With the proliferation of mobile devices and the internet of things, developing principled solutions for privacy in time series applications has become increasingly important. While differential privacy is the gold standard for database…
Emerging systems such as smart grids or intelligent transportation systems often require end-user applications to continuously send information to external data aggregators performing monitoring or control tasks. This can result in an…
Providing meaningful privacy to users of location based services is particularly challenging when multiple locations are revealed in a short period of time. This is primarily due to the tremendous degree of dependence that can be…
In this work we explore the utility of locally differentially private thermal sensor data. We design a locally differentially private recovery algorithm for the 1-dimensional, discrete heat source location problem and analyse its…
Anonymous database search protocols allow users to query a database anonymously. This can be achieved by letting the users form a peer-to-peer community and post queries on behalf of each other. In this article we discuss an application of…
