Local differential privacy~(LDP) is an information-theoretic privacy definition suitable for statistical surveys that involve an untrusted data curator. An LDP version of quasi-maximum likelihood estimator~(QMLE) has been developed, but the…
Deep learning-based lane detection (LD) plays a critical role in autonomous driving and advanced driver assistance systems. However, its vulnerability to backdoor attacks presents a significant security concern. Existing backdoor attack…
Local differential privacy (LDP) is increasingly employed in privacy-preserving machine learning to protect user data before sharing it with an untrusted aggregator. Most LDP methods assume that users possess only a single data record,…
Differential Privacy (DP) provides a rigorous framework for releasing statistics while protecting individual information present in a dataset. Although substantial progress has been made on differentially private linear regression, existing…
Local Differential Privacy (LDP) has been widely recognized as a powerful tool for providing a strong theoretical guarantee of data privacy to data contributors against an untrusted data collector. Under a typical LDP scheme, each data…
Spam phone calls have been rapidly growing from nuisance to an increasingly effective scam delivery tool. To counter this increasingly successful attack vector, a number of commercial smartphone apps that promise to block spam phone calls…
Data-driven advancements significantly contribute to societal progress, yet they also pose substantial risks to privacy. In this landscape, differential privacy (DP) has become a cornerstone in privacy preservation efforts. However, the…
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…
Local Differential Privacy (LDP) is the predominant privacy model for safeguarding individual data privacy. Existing perturbation mechanisms typically require perturbing the original values to ensure acceptable privacy, which inevitably…
We investigate whether Differentially Private SGD offers better privacy in practice than what is guaranteed by its state-of-the-art analysis. We do so via novel data poisoning attacks, which we show correspond to realistic privacy attacks.…
Link prediction (LP) algorithms propose to each node a ranked list of nodes that are currently non-neighbors, as the most likely candidates for future linkage. Owing to increasing concerns about privacy, users (nodes) may prefer to keep…
In-context learning (ICL) in Large Language Models (LLMs) has shown remarkable performance across various tasks without requiring fine-tuning. However, recent studies have highlighted the risk of private data leakage through the prompt in…
Train machine learning models on sensitive user data has raised increasing privacy concerns in many areas. Federated learning is a popular approach for privacy protection that collects the local gradient information instead of real data.…
The internet of things (IoT) is transforming major industries including but not limited to healthcare, agriculture, finance, energy, and transportation. IoT platforms are continually improving with innovations such as the amalgamation of…
The resilience of a voting system has been a central topic in computational social choice. Many voting rules, like plurality, are shown to be vulnerable as the attacker can target specific voters to manipulate the result. What if a local…
Longitudinal data tracking under Local Differential Privacy (LDP) is a challenging task. Baseline solutions that repeatedly invoke a protocol designed for one-time computation lead to linear decay in the privacy or utility guarantee with…
Local differential privacy (LDP) enables private data sharing and analytics without the need for a trusted data collector. Error-optimal primitives (for, e.g., estimating means and item frequencies) under LDP have been well studied. For…
Several companies (e.g., Meta, Google) have initiated "data-for-good" projects where aggregate location data are first sanitized and released publicly, which is useful to many applications in transportation, public health (e.g., COVID-19…
Recent research has shown that structured machine learning models such as tree ensembles are vulnerable to privacy attacks targeting their training data. To mitigate these risks, differential privacy (DP) has become a widely adopted…
Privatized text rewriting with local differential privacy (LDP) is a recent approach that enables sharing of sensitive textual documents while formally guaranteeing privacy protection to individuals. However, existing systems face several…
