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…
Differential Privacy (DP) has become the gold standard for protecting individual privacy in data analytics, and the shuffle-DP model has attracted significant attention from both academia and industry due to its favorable balance between…
Ranking aggregation is commonly adopted in cooperative decision-making to assist in combining multiple rankings into a single representative. To protect the actual ranking of each individual, some privacy-preserving strategies, such as…
Nowadays, the ubiquitous usage of mobile devices and networks have raised concerns about the loss of control over personal data and research advance towards the trade-off between privacy and utility in scenarios that combine exchange…
Differential privacy (DP) has arisen as the state-of-the-art metric for quantifying individual privacy when sensitive data are analyzed, and it is starting to see practical deployment in organizations such as the US Census Bureau, Apple,…
Differential Privacy (DP) is a well-established framework to quantify privacy loss incurred by any algorithm. Traditional DP formulations impose a uniform privacy requirement for all users, which is often inconsistent with real-world…
Location data is collected from users continuously to understand their mobility patterns. Releasing the user trajectories may compromise user privacy. Therefore, the general practice is to release aggregated location datasets. However,…
Collecting and analyzing massive data generated from smart devices have become increasingly pervasive in crowdsensing, which are the building blocks for data-driven decision-making. However, extensive statistics and analysis of such data…
The shuffled (aka anonymous) model has recently generated significant interest as a candidate distributed privacy framework with trust assumptions better than the central model but with achievable errors smaller than the local model. We…
The shuffle model of differential privacy has gained significant interest as an intermediate trust model between the standard local and central models [EFMRTT19; CSUZZ19]. A key result in this model is that randomly shuffling locally…
Data engineering often requires accuracy (utility) constraints on results, posing significant challenges in designing differentially private (DP) mechanisms, particularly under stringent privacy parameter $\epsilon$. In this paper, we…
Recent work in differential privacy has explored the prospect of combining local randomization with a secure intermediary. Specifically, there are a variety of protocols in the secure shuffle model (where an intermediary randomly permutes…
The *shuffle model* is a powerful tool to amplify the privacy guarantees of the *local model* of differential privacy. In contrast to the fully decentralized manner of guaranteeing privacy in the local model, the shuffle model requires a…
We study a protocol for distributed computation called shuffled check-in, which achieves strong privacy guarantees without requiring any further trust assumptions beyond a trusted shuffler. Unlike most existing work, shuffled check-in…
Federated Learning, as a popular paradigm for collaborative training, is vulnerable against privacy attacks. Different privacy levels regarding users' attitudes need to be satisfied locally, while a strict privacy guarantee for the global…
There has been much recent work in the shuffle model of differential privacy, particularly for approximate $d$-bin histograms. While these protocols achieve low error, the number of messages sent by each user -- the message complexity --…
We consider a refinement of differential privacy --- per instance differential privacy (pDP), which captures the privacy of a specific individual with respect to a fixed data set. We show that this is a strict generalization of the standard…
Sensitive statistics are often collected across sets of users, with repeated collection of reports done over time. For example, trends in users' private preferences or software usage may be monitored via such reports. We study the…
As data-driven technologies advance swiftly, maintaining strong privacy measures becomes progressively difficult. Conventional $(\epsilon, \delta)$-differential privacy, while prevalent, exhibits limited adaptability for many applications.…
In data-driven applications, preserving user privacy while enabling valuable computations remains a critical challenge. Technologies like differential privacy have been pivotal in addressing these concerns. The shuffle model of DP requires…
