When synthetic data is released, some individuals are harder to protect than others. A patient with a rare disease combination or a transaction with unusual characteristics stands out from the crowd. Differential privacy provides worst-case…
We consider three different variants of differential privacy (DP), namely approximate DP, R\'enyi DP (RDP), and hypothesis test DP. In the first part, we develop a machinery for optimally relating approximate DP to RDP based on the joint…
Spontaneous reporting systems (SRS) have been developed to collect adverse event records that contain personal demographics and sensitive information like drug indications and adverse reactions. The release of SRS data may disclose the…
The application of graph analytics to various domains has yielded tremendous societal and economical benefits in recent years. However, the increasingly widespread adoption of graph analytics comes with a commensurate increase in the need…
Differential privacy (DP) has arisen as the gold standard in protecting an individual's privacy in datasets by adding calibrated noise to each data sample. While the application to categorical data is straightforward, its usability in the…

Differentially Private (DP) data release is a promising technique to disseminate data without compromising the privacy of data subjects. However the majority of prior work has focused on scenarios where a single party owns all the data. In…
Differential Privacy (DP) is the leading approach to privacy preserving deep learning. As such, there are multiple efforts to provide drop-in integration of DP into popular frameworks. These efforts, which add noise to each gradient…
The software-based implementation of differential privacy mechanisms has been shown to be neither friendly for lightweight devices nor secure against side-channel attacks. In this work, we aim to develop a hardware-based technique to…
In this paper we propose new methods to statistically assess $f$-Differential Privacy ($f$-DP), a recent refinement of differential privacy (DP) that remedies certain weaknesses of standard DP (including tightness under algorithmic…
Privacy concerns have led to a surge in the creation of synthetic datasets, with diffusion models emerging as a promising avenue. Although prior studies have performed empirical evaluations on these models, there has been a gap in providing…
Differential privacy (DP) in deep learning is a critical concern as it ensures the confidentiality of training data while maintaining model utility. Existing DP training algorithms provide privacy guarantees by clipping and then injecting…
Constructing a differentially private (DP) estimator requires deriving the maximum influence of an observation, which can be difficult in the absence of exogenous bounds on the input data or the estimator, especially in high dimensional…
Differential Privacy (DP) is an important privacy-enhancing technology for private machine learning systems. It allows to measure and bound the risk associated with an individual participation in a computation. However, it was recently…
Differential privacy (DP) is a mathematical framework that guarantees individual privacy; however, systematic evaluation of its impact on statistical utility in survival analyses remains limited. In this study, we systematically evaluated…

Differential privacy is a recent notion of privacy for statistical databases that provides rigorous, meaningful confidentiality guarantees, even in the presence of an attacker with access to arbitrary side information. We show that for a…
