This paper presents a unified interpretation of $\alpha$-mutual information ($\alpha$-MI) in terms of generalized $g$-leakage. Specifically, we present a novel interpretation of $\alpha$-MI within an extended framework for quantitative…
We put forward a model of action-based randomization mechanisms to analyse quantitative information flow (QIF) under generic leakage functions, and under possibly adaptive adversaries. This model subsumes many of the QIF models proposed so…
We introduce a new perspective into the field of quantitative information flow (QIF) analysis that invites the community to bound the leakage, reported by QIF quantifiers, by a range consistent with the size of a program's secret input…
The study of leakage measures for privacy has been a subject of intensive research and is an important aspect of understanding how privacy leaks occur in computer systems. Differential privacy has been a focal point in the privacy community…
Traditional approaches to Quantitative Information Flow (QIF) represent the adversary's prior knowledge of possible secret values as a single probability distribution. This representation may miss important structure. For instance,…
Quantitative information flow (QIF) is concerned with measuring how much of a secret is leaked to an adversary who observes the result of a computation that uses it. Prior work has shown that QIF techniques based on abstract interpretation…
Quantitative information flow (QIF) is concerned with assessing the leakage of information in computational systems. In QIF there are two main perspectives for the quantification of leakage. On one hand, the static perspective considers all…
A program is non-interferent if it leaks no secret information to an observable output. However, non-interference is too strict in many practical cases and quantitative information flow (QIF) has been proposed and studied in depth.…
This study focuses on conditional entropy frameworks based on the Kolmogorov--Nagumo (KN) mean. First, $(\eta, \psi)$-KN averaging (\texttt{EPKNAVG}), a KN-mean extension of the $\eta$-averaging (\texttt{EAVG}) framework for $(\eta,…
In this work, maximal $\alpha$-leakage is introduced to quantify how much a quantum adversary can learn about any sensitive information of data upon observing its disturbed version via a quantum privacy mechanism. We first show that an…
Quantitative information flow (QIF) is traditionally defined as the expected value of information leakage over all feasible program runs and it fails to identify vulnerable programs where only limited number of runs leak large amount of…
This paper concerns the analysis of information leaks in security systems. We address the problem of specifying and analyzing large systems in the (standard) channel model used in quantitative information flow (QIF). We propose several…
A tunable measure for information leakage called \textit{maximal $\alpha$-leakage} is introduced. This measure quantifies the maximal gain of an adversary in refining a tilted version of its prior belief of any (potentially random) function…
In the inference attacks studied in Quantitative Information Flow (QIF), the attacker typically tries to interfere with the system in the attempt to increase its leakage of secret information. The defender, on the other hand, typically…
We introduce a \emph{gain function} viewpoint of information leakage by proposing \emph{maximal $g$-leakage}, a rich class of operationally meaningful leakage measures that subsumes recently introduced leakage measures -- {maximal leakage}…
Quantitative Information Flow (QIF) provides a robust information-theoretical framework for designing secure systems with minimal information leakage. While previous research has addressed the design of such systems under hard constraints…
In a manner analogous to their classical counterparts, quantum classifiers are vulnerable to adversarial attacks that perturb their inputs. A promising countermeasure is to train the quantum classifier by adopting an attack-aware, or…
We prove a lower bound on the information leakage of any classical protocol computing the equality function in the simultaneous message passing (SMP) model. Our bound is valid in the finite length regime and is strong enough to demonstrate…
We introduce a tunable measure for information leakage called maximal alpha-leakage. This measure quantifies the maximal gain of an adversary in inferring any (potentially random) function of a dataset from a release of the data. The…
Information flow is the branch of security that studies the leakage of information due to correlation between secrets and observables. Since in general such correlation cannot be avoided completely, it is important to quantify the leakage.…
