This paper is motivated by applications of a Census Bureau interested in releasing aggregate socio-economic data about a large population without revealing sensitive information about any individual. The released information can be the…
Utility-preserving data privatization is of utmost importance for data-producing agencies. The popular noise-addition privacy mechanism distorts autocorrelation patterns in time series data, thereby marring utility; in response, McElroy et…
The rapid advancements in wireless technology have significantly increased the demand for communication resources, leading to the development of Spectrum Access Systems (SAS). However, network regulations require disclosing sensitive user…
While differentially private synthetic data generation has been explored extensively in the literature, how to update this data in the future if the underlying private data changes is much less understood. We propose an algorithmic…
There is an increasing demand to make data "open" to third parties, as data sharing has great benefits in data-driven decision making. However, with a wide variety of sensitive data collected, protecting privacy of individuals, communities…
Local differential privacy (LDP) is a recently proposed privacy standard for collecting and analyzing data, which has been used, e.g., in the Chrome browser, iOS and macOS. In LDP, each user perturbs her information locally, and only sends…
Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) sharing is an important activity to reduce information asymmetries between attackers and defenders. However, this activity presents challenges due to the tension between data sharing and confidentiality, that…
Sequential change-point detection seeks to rapidly identify distributional changes in streaming data while controlling false alarms. Existing multi-stream detection methods typically rely on non-private access to raw observations or…
Differential Privacy (DP) is a mathematical framework for releasing information with formal privacy guarantees. While numerous DP procedures have been developed for statistical analysis and machine learning, valid statistical inference…
Many applications of machine learning and optimization operate on data streams. While these datasets are fundamental to fuel decision-making algorithms, often they contain sensitive information about individuals and their usage poses…
In recent years, local differential privacy (LDP) has emerged as a technique of choice for privacy-preserving data collection in several scenarios when the aggregator is not trustworthy. LDP provides client-side privacy by adding noise at…
In the Open Data approach, governments and other public organisations want to share their datasets with the public, for accountability and to support participation. Data must be opened in such a way that individual privacy is safeguarded.…
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…
Many intended uses of differential privacy involve a $\textit{continual mechanism}$ that is set up to run continuously over a long period of time, making more statistical releases as either queries come in or the dataset is updated. In this…
Ensuring the usefulness of electronic data sources while providing necessary privacy guarantees is an important unsolved problem. This problem drives the need for an analytical framework that can quantify the safety of personally…
We consider the setting of publishing data without leaking sensitive information. We do so in the framework of Robust Local Differential Privacy (RLDP). This ensures privacy for all distributions of the data in an uncertainty set. We…
The standard definition of differential privacy (DP) ensures that a mechanism's output distribution on adjacent datasets is indistinguishable. However, real-world implementations of DP can, and often do, reveal information through their…
Searchable Encryption (SE) is a technique that allows Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) to search over encrypted datasets without learning the content of queries and records. In recent years, many SE schemes have been proposed to protect…
Split learning (SL) aims to protect user data privacy by distributing deep models between client-server and keeping private data locally. Only processed or `smashed' data can be transmitted from the clients to the server during the SL…
In-context learning (ICL) has shown promising improvement in downstream task adaptation of LLMs by augmenting prompts with relevant input-output examples (demonstrations). However, the ICL demonstrations can contain privacy-sensitive…
