Local differential privacy (LDP) involves users perturbing their inputs to provide plausible deniability of their data. However, this also makes LDP vulnerable to poisoning attacks. In this paper, we first introduce novel poisoning attacks…
Differential privacy (DP) is a widely-accepted and widely-applied notion of privacy based on worst-case analysis. Often, DP classifies most mechanisms without additive noise as non-private (Dwork et al., 2014). Thus, additive noises are…
