Data protection regulations generally afford individuals certain rights over their personal data, including the rights to access, rectify, and delete the data held on them. Exercising such rights naturally requires those with data…
The concept of disinformation is to use fake messages to confuse people in order to protect the real information. This strategy can be adapted into data science to protect valuable private and sensitive data. Huge amount of private data are…
In the current paradigm of digital personalized services, the centralized management of personal data raises significant privacy concerns, security vulnerabilities, and diminished individual autonomy over sensitive information. Despite…
Process mining employs event data extracted from different types of information systems to discover and analyze actual processes. Event data often contain highly sensitive information about the people who carry out activities or the people…
Many large-scale information systems such as intelligent transportation systems, smart grids or smart buildings collect data about the activities of their users to optimize their operations. To encourage participation and adoption of these…
In modern datasets, where single records can have multiple owners, enforcing user-level differential privacy requires capping each user's total contribution. This "contribution bounding" becomes a significant combinatorial challenge.…
Differential privacy is a popular privacy-enhancing technology that has been deployed both in industry and government agencies. Unfortunately, existing explanations of differential privacy fail to set accurate privacy expectations for data…
Information-flow security type systems ensure confidentiality by enforcing noninterference: a program cannot leak private data to public channels. However, in practice, programs need to selectively declassify information about private data.…
Mobile code based computing requires development of protection schemes that allow digital signature and encryption of data collected by the agents in untrusted hosts. These algorithms could not rely on carrying encryption keys if these keys…
Federated learning enables training a global machine learning model from data distributed across multiple sites, without having to move the data. This is particularly relevant in healthcare applications, where data is rife with personal,…
Local differential privacy (LDP) can provide each user with strong privacy guarantees under untrusted data curators while ensuring accurate statistics derived from privatized data. Due to its powerfulness, LDP has been widely adopted to…
Distributed stochastic optimization enables multi-agent collaboration in applications such as distributed learning and sensor networks, but also raises critical privacy concerns due to the involvement of sensitive data. While existing…
Preserving privacy of continuous and/or high-dimensional data such as images, videos and audios, can be challenging with syntactic anonymization methods which are designed for discrete attributes. Differential privacy, which provides a more…
The rise of mobile apps has brought greater convenience and customization for users. However, many apps use analytics services to collect a wide range of user interaction data purportedly to improve their service, while presenting app users…
In this paper we propose a data dissemination platform that supports data security and different privacy levels even when the platform and the data are hosted by untrusted infrastructures. The proposed system aims at enabling an application…
Location-based Services (LBSs) provide valuable services, with convenient features for users. However, the information disclosed through each request harms user privacy. This is a concern particularly with honest-but-curious LBS servers,…
In the realm of multimedia data analysis, the extensive use of image datasets has escalated concerns over privacy protection within such data. Current research predominantly focuses on privacy protection either in data sharing or upon the…
Mobile devices have access to personal, potentially sensitive data, and there is a growing number of applications that transmit this personally identifiable information (PII) over the network. In this paper, we present the AntShield system…
Despite recent widespread deployment of differential privacy, relatively little is known about what users think of differential privacy. In this work, we seek to explore users' privacy expectations related to differential privacy.…
With mobile applications and associated services becoming increasingly popular, concerns are being raised about private data leakages have raised. Previous solutions to this well-known set of problems have approached it from the ground up…
