Local differential privacy (LDP) has recently become a popular privacy-preserving data collection technique protecting users' privacy. The main problem of data stream collection under LDP is the poor utility due to multi-item collection…
Local Differential Privacy (LDP) offers strong privacy guarantees without requiring users to trust external parties. However, LDP applies uniform protection to all data features, including less sensitive ones, which degrades performance of…
Metric Differential Privacy (mDP) builds upon the core principles of Differential Privacy (DP) by incorporating various distance metrics, which offer adaptable and context-sensitive privacy guarantees for a wide range of applications, such…
Local differential privacy (LDP) is a strong notion of privacy for individual users that often comes at the expense of a significant drop in utility. The classical definition of LDP assumes that all elements in the data domain are equally…
Differential privacy (DP) is a widely used notion for reasoning about privacy when publishing aggregate data. In this paper, we observe that certain DP mechanisms are amenable to a posteriori privacy analysis that exploits the fact that…
Local Differential Privacy (LDP) addresses significant privacy concerns in sensitive data collection. In this work, we focus on numerical data collection under LDP, targeting a significant gap in the literature: existing LDP mechanisms are…
Local differential privacy (LDP) enables the efficient release of aggregate statistics without having to trust the central server (aggregator), as in the central model of differential privacy, and simultaneously protects a client's…
Local differential privacy (LDP), a technique applying unbiased statistical estimations instead of real data, is often adopted in data collection. In particular, this technique is used with frequency oracles (FO) because it can protect each…
Local Differential Privacy (LDP) has emerged as a widely adopted privacy-preserving technique in modern data analytics, enabling users to share statistical insights while maintaining robust privacy guarantees. However, current LDP…
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…
Organizations with a large user base, such as Samsung and Google, can potentially benefit from collecting and mining users' data. However, doing so raises privacy concerns, and risks accidental privacy breaches with serious consequences.…
Data collection under local differential privacy (LDP) has been mostly studied for homogeneous data. Real-world applications often involve a mixture of different data types such as key-value pairs, where the frequency of keys and mean of…
Most deep learning frameworks require users to pool their local data or model updates to a trusted server to train or maintain a global model. The assumption of a trusted server who has access to user information is ill-suited in many…
Fine-tuning large language models (LLMs) for specific tasks introduces privacy risks, as models may inadvertently memorise and leak sensitive training data. While Differential Privacy (DP) offers a solution to mitigate these risks, it…
Differential privacy (DP) and local differential privacy (LPD) are frameworks to protect sensitive information in data collections. They are both based on obfuscation. In DP the noise is added to the result of queries on the dataset,…
The notion of Local Differential Privacy (LDP) enables users to answer sensitive questions while preserving their privacy. The basic LDP frequent oracle protocol enables the aggregator to estimate the frequency of any value. But when the…
Local Differential Privacy (LDP) has been widely adopted to protect user privacy in decentralized data collection. However, recent studies have revealed that LDP protocols are vulnerable to data poisoning attacks, where malicious users…
Trajectory data, which tracks movements through geographic locations, is crucial for improving real-world applications. However, collecting such sensitive data raises considerable privacy concerns. Local differential privacy (LDP) offers a…
Differential Privacy (DP) has emerged as a pivotal approach for safeguarding individual privacy in data analysis, yet its practical adoption is often hindered by challenges in the implementation and communication of DP. This paper presents…
In this paper, we study the problem of publishing a stream of real-valued data satisfying differential privacy (DP). One major challenge is that the maximal possible value can be quite large; thus it is necessary to estimate a threshold so…
