Differential privacy (DP) is a widely applied paradigm for releasing data while maintaining user privacy. Its success is to a large part due to its composition property that guarantees privacy even in the case of multiple data releases.…
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…
The exact composition of mechanisms for which two differential privacy (DP) constraints hold simultaneously is studied. The resulting privacy region admits an exact representation as a mixture over compositions of mechanisms of…
Composition is a cornerstone of classical differential privacy, enabling strong end-to-end guarantees for complex algorithms through composition theorems (e.g., basic and advanced). In the quantum setting, however, privacy is defined…
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…
Differential privacy (DP) provides rigorous privacy guarantees on individual's data while also allowing for accurate statistics to be conducted on the overall, sensitive dataset. To design a private system, first private algorithms must be…
Composition is one of the most important properties of differential privacy (DP), as it allows algorithm designers to build complex private algorithms from DP primitives. We consider precise composition bounds of the overall privacy loss…
An interactive mechanism is an algorithm that stores a data set and answers adaptively chosen queries to it. The mechanism is called differentially private, if any adversary cannot distinguish whether a specific individual is in the data…
"f differential privacy" (fDP) is a recent definition for privacy privacy which can offer improved predictions of "privacy loss". It has been used to analyse specific privacy mechanisms, such as the popular Gaussian mechanism. In this paper…
Datasets containing sensitive information are often sequentially analyzed by many algorithms. This raises a fundamental question in differential privacy regarding how the overall privacy bound degrades under composition. To address this…
Composition is a key feature of differential privacy. Well-known advanced composition theorems allow one to query a private database quadratically more times than basic privacy composition would permit. However, these results require that…
In the study of differential privacy, composition theorems (starting with the original paper of Dwork, McSherry, Nissim, and Smith (TCC'06)) bound the degradation of privacy when composing several differentially private algorithms. Kairouz,…
Differential Privacy (DP) considers a scenario in which an adversary has almost complete information about the entries of a database. This worst-case assumption is likely to overestimate the privacy threat faced by an individual in…
Differential privacy (DP) has become the gold standard for privacy-preserving data analysis, but its applicability can be limited in scenarios involving complex dependencies between sensitive information and datasets. To address this, we…
Sequential querying of differentially private mechanisms degrades the overall privacy level. In this paper, we answer the fundamental question of characterizing the level of overall privacy degradation as a function of the number of queries…
We initiate a study of the composition properties of interactive differentially private mechanisms. An interactive differentially private mechanism is an algorithm that allows an analyst to adaptively ask queries about a sensitive dataset,…
Differential privacy (DP) is a widely used notion for reasoning about privacy when publishing aggregate data. In this paper, we observe that certain DP mechanisms are amenable to a posteriori privacy analysis that exploits the fact that…
Differential privacy is often applied with a privacy parameter that is larger than the theory suggests is ideal; various informal justifications for tolerating large privacy parameters have been proposed. In this work, we consider partial…
Differential privacy is a rigorous privacy standard that has been applied to a range of data analysis tasks. To broaden the application scenarios of differential privacy when data records have dependencies, the notion of Bayesian…
The objective of differential privacy (DP) is to protect privacy by producing an output distribution that is indistinguishable between any two neighboring databases. However, traditional differentially private mechanisms tend to produce…
