Local Differential Privacy (LDP) is popularly used in practice for privacy-preserving data collection. Although existing LDP protocols offer high utility for large user populations (100,000 or more users), they perform poorly in scenarios…
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…
This paper considers subject level privacy in the FL setting, where a subject is an individual whose private information is embodied by several data items either confined within a single federation user or distributed across multiple…
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…
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…
In this paper, we revisit the problem of sparse linear regression in the local differential privacy (LDP) model. Existing research in the non-interactive and sequentially local models has focused on obtaining the lower bounds for the case…
The problem of estimating a parameter in the drift coefficient is addressed for $N$ discretely observed independent and identically distributed stochastic differential equations (SDEs). This is done considering additional constraints,…
The collection of individuals' data has become commonplace in many industries. Local differential privacy (LDP) offers a rigorous approach to preserving privacy whereby the individual privatises their data locally, allowing only their…
Differential Privacy (DP) is commonly employed to safeguard graph analysis or publishing. Distance, a critical factor in graph analysis, is typically handled using curator DP, where a trusted curator holds the complete neighbor lists of all…
Concerns on location privacy frequently arise with the rapid development of GPS enabled devices and location-based applications. While spatial transformation techniques such as location perturbation or generalization have been studied…
The introduction and advancements in Local Differential Privacy (LDP) variants have become a cornerstone in addressing the privacy concerns associated with the vast data produced by smart devices, which forms the foundation for data-driven…
Location entropy (LE) is a popular metric for measuring the popularity of various locations (e.g., points-of-interest). Unlike other metrics computed from only the number of (unique) visits to a location, namely frequency, LE also captures…
LDP (Local Differential Privacy) has been widely studied to estimate statistics of personal data (e.g., distribution underlying the data) while protecting users' privacy. Although LDP does not require a trusted third party, it regards all…
In the recent years, Local Differential Privacy (LDP) has been one of the corner stone of privacy preserving data analysis. However, many challenges still opposes its widespread application. One of these problems is the scalability of LDP…
With the increasing amount of mobility data being collected on a daily basis by location-based services (LBSs) comes a new range of threats for users, related to the over-sharing of their location information. To deal with this issue,…
Network data are ubiquitous in our daily life, containing rich but often sensitive information. In this paper, we expand the current static analysis of privatised networks to a dynamic framework by considering a sequence of networks with…
Local differential privacy (LDP) gives a strong privacy guarantee to be used in a distributed setting like federated learning (FL). LDP mechanisms in FL protect a client's gradient by randomizing it on the client; however, how can we…
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,…
