Local Differential Privacy (LDP) offers strong privacy protection, especially in settings in which the server collecting the data is untrusted. However, designing LDP mechanisms that achieve an optimal trade-off between privacy, utility and…
In recent years, local differential privacy (LDP) has emerged as a technique of choice for privacy-preserving data collection in several scenarios when the aggregator is not trustworthy. LDP provides client-side privacy by adding noise at…
This paper presents LDP-Fed, a novel federated learning system with a formal privacy guarantee using local differential privacy (LDP). Existing LDP protocols are developed primarily to ensure data privacy in the collection of single…
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…
Protocols satisfying Local Differential Privacy (LDP) enable parties to collect aggregate information about a population while protecting each user's privacy, without relying on a trusted third party. LDP protocols (such as Google's RAPPOR)…
Recent smart grid advancements enable near-realtime reporting of electricity consumption, raising concerns about consumer privacy. Differential privacy (DP) has emerged as a viable privacy solution, where a calculated amount of noise is…
Federated heavy hitter analytics enables service providers to better understand the preferences of cross-party users by analyzing the most frequent items. As with federated learning, it faces challenges of privacy concerns, statistical…
When collecting information, local differential privacy (LDP) alleviates privacy concerns of users because their private information is randomized before being sent it to the central aggregator. LDP imposes large amount of noise as each…
We study the fundamental problem of frequency estimation under both privacy and communication constraints, where the data is distributed among $k$ parties. We consider two application scenarios: (1) one-shot, where the data is static and…
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…
With local differential privacy (LDP), users can privatize their data and thus guarantee privacy properties before transmitting it to the server (a.k.a. the aggregator). One primary objective of LDP is frequency (or histogram) estimation,…
With the fast development of Information Technology, a tremendous amount of data have been generated and collected for research and analysis purposes. As an increasing number of users are growing concerned about their personal information,…
Private and public organizations regularly collect and analyze digitalized data about their associates, volunteers, clients, etc. However, because most personal data are sensitive, there is a key challenge in designing privacy-preserving…
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,…
Local differential privacy (LDP) has emerged as a promising paradigm for privacy-preserving data collection in distributed systems, where users contribute multi-dimensional records with potentially correlated attributes. Recent work has…
Large-scale data collection, from national censuses to IoT-enabled smart homes, routinely gathers dozens of attributes per individual. These multi-attribute datasets are crucial for analytics but pose significant privacy risks. Local…
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…
We consider data release protocols for data $X=(S,U)$, where $S$ is sensitive; the released data $Y$ contains as much information about $X$ as possible, measured as $\operatorname{I}(X;Y)$, without leaking too much about $S$. We introduce…
Local Differential Privacy (LDP) protocols allow an aggregator to obtain population statistics about sensitive data of a userbase, while protecting the privacy of the individual users. To understand the tradeoff between aggregator utility…
