The analysis of network assortativity is of great importance for understanding the structural characteristics of and dynamics upon networks. Often, network assortativity is quantified using the assortativity coefficient that is defined…
When designing multi-stakeholder privacy systems, it is important to consider how different groups of social media users have different goals and requirements for privacy. Additionally, we must acknowledge that it is important to keep in…
Clinical NLP tasks such as mental health assessment from text, must take social constraints into account - the performance maximization must be constrained by the utmost importance of guaranteeing privacy of user data. Consumer protection…
A wide variety of privacy metrics have been proposed in the literature to evaluate the level of protection offered by privacy enhancing-technologies. Most of these metrics are specific to concrete systems and adversarial models, and are…
Network data needs to be shared for distributed security analysis. Anonymization of network data for sharing sets up a fundamental tradeoff between privacy protection versus security analysis capability. This privacy/analysis tradeoff has…
Differential privacy (DP) defines privacy protection by promising quantified indistinguishability between individuals that consent to share their privacy-sensitive information and the ones that do not. DP aims to deliver this promise by…
Networked system often relies on distributed algorithms to achieve a global computation goal with iterative local information exchanges between neighbor nodes. To preserve data privacy, a node may add a random noise to its original data for…
We develop formal privacy mechanisms for releasing statistics from data with many outlying values, such as income data. These mechanisms ensure that a per-record differential privacy guarantee degrades slowly in the protected records'…
The private collection of multiple statistics from a population is a fundamental statistical problem. One possible approach to realize this is to rely on the local model of differential privacy (LDP). Numerous LDP protocols have been…
Organizations often collect private data and release aggregate statistics for the public's benefit. If no steps toward preserving privacy are taken, adversaries may use released statistics to deduce unauthorized information about the…
Differential privacy, a notion of algorithmic stability, is a gold standard for measuring the additional risk an algorithm's output poses to the privacy of a single record in the dataset. Differential privacy is defined as the distance…
Decentralized systems are a subset of distributed systems where multiple authorities control different components and no authority is fully trusted by all. This implies that any component in a decentralized system is potentially…
Ensuring privacy of sensitive data is essential in many contexts, such as healthcare data, banks, e-commerce, wireless sensor networks, and social networks. It is common that different entities coordinate or want to rely on a third party to…
Providing a provable privacy guarantees while maintaining the utility of data is a challenging task in many real-world applications. Recently, a new framework called One-Sided Differential Privacy (OSDP) was introduced that extends existing…
Differential privacy is a recent notion of privacy for statistical databases that provides rigorous, meaningful confidentiality guarantees, even in the presence of an attacker with access to arbitrary side information. We show that for a…
Differential privacy is a formal mathematical {stand-ard} for quantifying the degree of that individual privacy in a statistical database is preserved. To guarantee differential privacy, a typical method is adding random noise to the…
As language models evolve into autonomous agents that act and communicate on behalf of users, ensuring safety in multi-agent ecosystems becomes a central challenge. Interactions between personal assistants and external service providers…
Anonymous data sharing has been becoming more challenging in today's interconnected digital world, especially for individuals that have both anonymous and identified online activities. The most prominent example of such data sharing…
As data-driven and AI-based decision making gains widespread adoption across disciplines, it is crucial that both data privacy and decision fairness are appropriately addressed. Although differential privacy (DP) provides a robust framework…
Differential Privacy (DP) is a formal definition of privacy that provides rigorous guarantees against risks of privacy breaches during data processing. It makes no assumptions about the knowledge or computational power of adversaries, and…
