The collection of individuals' data has become commonplace in many industries. Local differential privacy (LDP) offers a rigorous approach to preserving privacy whereby the individual privatises their data locally, allowing only their…
Local Differential Privacy (LDP) has emerged as a widely adopted privacy-preserving technique in modern data analytics, enabling users to share statistical insights while maintaining robust privacy guarantees. However, current LDP…
Local Differential Privacy (LDP) offers strong privacy protection, especially in settings in which the server collecting the data is untrusted. However, designing LDP mechanisms that achieve an optimal trade-off between privacy, utility and…
High-dimensional crowdsourced data collected from a large number of users produces rich knowledge for our society. However, it also brings unprecedented privacy threats to participants. Local privacy, a variant of differential privacy, is…
The notion of Local Differential Privacy (LDP) enables users to answer sensitive questions while preserving their privacy. The basic LDP frequent oracle protocol enables the aggregator to estimate the frequency of any value. But when the…
Local differential privacy (LDP) has become a central topic in data privacy research, offering strong privacy guarantees by perturbing user data at the source and removing the need for a trusted curator. However, the noise introduced by LDP…
Federated learning (FL) is a new paradigm that enables many clients to jointly train a machine learning (ML) model under the orchestration of a parameter server while keeping the local data not being exposed to any third party. However, the…
Locally Differentially Private (LDP) Reports are commonly used for collection of statistics and machine learning in the federated setting. In many cases the best known LDP algorithms require sending prohibitively large messages from the…
Differential privacy (DP) considers a scenario, where an adversary has almost complete information about the entries of a database This worst-case assumption is likely to overestimate the privacy thread for an individual in real life.…
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…
We initiate the study of locally differentially private (LDP) learning with public features. We define semi-feature LDP, where some features are publicly available while the remaining ones, along with the label, require protection under…
Local Differential Privacy (LDP) protocols allow an aggregator to obtain population statistics about sensitive data of a userbase, while protecting the privacy of the individual users. To understand the tradeoff between aggregator utility…
The introduction and advancements in Local Differential Privacy (LDP) variants have become a cornerstone in addressing the privacy concerns associated with the vast data produced by smart devices, which forms the foundation for data-driven…
Federated analytics seeks to compute accurate statistics from data distributed across users' devices while providing a suitable privacy guarantee and being practically feasible to implement and scale. In this paper, we show how a strong…
Train machine learning models on sensitive user data has raised increasing privacy concerns in many areas. Federated learning is a popular approach for privacy protection that collects the local gradient information instead of real data.…
Local differential privacy (LDP) can be adopted to anonymize richer user data attributes that will be input to sophisticated machine learning (ML) tasks. However, today's LDP approaches are largely task-agnostic and often lead to severe…
Local Differential Privacy (LDP) protocols enable the collection of randomized client messages for data analysis, without the necessity of a trusted data curator. Such protocols have been successfully deployed in real-world scenarios by…
Local Differential Privacy (LDP) protocols enable an untrusted data collector to perform privacy-preserving data analytics. In particular, each user locally perturbs its data to preserve privacy before sending it to the data collector, who…
We consider the privacy amplification properties of a sampling scheme in which a user's data is used in $k$ steps chosen randomly and uniformly from a sequence (or set) of $t$ steps. This sampling scheme has been recently applied in the…
Differential privacy (DP) has become the standard for private data analysis. Certain machine learning applications only require privacy protection for specific protected attributes. Using naive variants of differential privacy in such use…
