In this work, we consider the problem of distributed computing of functions of structured sources, focusing on the classical setting of two correlated sources and one user that seeks the outcome of the function while benefiting from…

A lossy source coding problem with privacy constraint is studied in which two correlated discrete sources $X$ and $Y$ are compressed into a reconstruction $\hat{X}$ with some prescribed distortion $D$. In addition, a privacy constraint is…

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,…

A client wishes to outsource computation on confidential data to a network of parties. He does not trust a single party but believes that multiple parties do not collude. To solve this problem, we use the idea of treating one of the parties…
