Federated authentication can drastically reduce the overhead of basic account maintenance while simultaneously improving overall system security. Integrating with the user's more frequently used account at their primary organization both…

This paper presents a privacy-preserving protocol for identity registration and information sharing in federated authentication systems. The goal is to enable Identity Providers (IdPs) to detect duplicate or fraudulent identity enrollments…

Differential privacy (DP) is typically formulated as a worst-case privacy guarantee over all individuals in a database. More recently, extensions to individual subjects or their attributes, have been introduced. Under the…

Differential privacy (DP) considers a scenario, where an adversary has almost complete information about the entries of a database This worst-case assumption is likely to overestimate the privacy thread for an individual in real life.…

Private queries allow a user Alice to learn an element of a database held by a provider Bob without revealing which element she was interested in, while limiting her information about the other elements. We propose to implement private…

In this paper, we consider differentially private classification when some features are sensitive, while the rest of the features and the label are not. We adapt the definition of differential privacy naturally to this setting. Our main…
