The private collection of multiple statistics from a population is a fundamental statistical problem. One possible approach to realize this is to rely on the local model of differential privacy (LDP). Numerous LDP protocols have been…
A geo-marketplace allows users to be paid for their location data. Users concerned about privacy may want to charge more for data that pinpoints their location accurately, but may charge less for data that is more vague. A buyer would…
Molecular communication (MC) enables information exchange in nanoscale sensor networks operating in biological environments, yet privacy remains largely unaddressed. We integrate local differential privacy (LDP) into diffusion-based MC by…
In this paper, we study the Empirical Risk Minimization (ERM) problem in the non-interactive Local Differential Privacy (LDP) model. Previous research on this problem \citep{smith2017interaction} indicates that the sample complexity, to…
Trajectory data collection is a common task with many applications in our daily lives. Analyzing trajectory data enables service providers to enhance their services, which ultimately benefits users. However, directly collecting trajectory…
This paper introduces a methodology based on Euclidean information theory to investigate local properties of secure communication over discrete memoryless wiretap channels. We formulate a constrained optimization problem that maximizes a…
Local Differential Privacy (LDP) protocols allow an aggregator to obtain population statistics about sensitive data of a userbase, while protecting the privacy of the individual users. To understand the tradeoff between aggregator utility…
Mobile apps and location-based services generate large amounts of location data that can benefit research on traffic optimization, context-aware notifications and public health (e.g., spread of contagious diseases). To preserve individual…
The prevalence of location-based services contributes to the explosive growth of individual-level trajectory data and raises public concerns about privacy issues. In this research, we propose a novel LSTM-TrajGAN approach, which is an…
Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT) provides a practical way for users to customize Large Language Models (LLMs) with their private data in LLM service scenarios. However, the inherently sensitive nature of private data demands robust…
Camouflaging data by generating fake information is a well-known obfuscation technique for protecting data privacy. In this paper, we focus on a very sensitive and increasingly exposed type of data: location data. There are two main…
Privacy concerns with sensitive data are receiving increasing attention. In this paper, we study local differential privacy (LDP) in interactive decentralized optimization. By constructing random local aggregators, we propose a framework to…
Location Aware Password Protection System (LAPPS) is designed to strengthen the security of traditional password protection systems. This is achieved by adding several layers of protection to the passwords that most traditional password…
Time series have numerous applications in finance, healthcare, IoT, and smart city. In many of these applications, time series typically contain personal data, so privacy infringement may occur if they are released directly to the public.…
In pervasive computing environment, Location Based Services (LBSs) are getting popularity among users because of their usefulness in day-to-day life. LBSs are information services that use geospatial data of mobile device and smart phone…
Location privacy leaks can lead to unauthorised tracking, identity theft, and targeted attacks, compromising personal security and privacy. This study explores LLM-powered location privacy leaks associated with photo sharing on social…
With the widespread sharing of personal face images in applications' public databases, face recognition systems faces real threat of being breached by potential adversaries who are able to access users' face images and use them to intrude…
We introduce a formal model for the information leakage of probability distributions and define a notion called distribution privacy as the local differential privacy for probability distributions. Roughly, the distribution privacy of a…
Geo-indistinguishability and expected inference error are two complementary notions for location privacy. The joint guarantee of differential privacy (indistinguishability) and distortion privacy (inference error) limits the information…
Since its proposal in 2013, geo-indistinguishability has been consolidated as a formal notion of location privacy, generating a rich body of literature building on this idea. A problem with most of these follow-up works is that they blindly…
