DP4SQL: Differentially Private SQL with Flexible Privacy Policies

Andrew Cascio, KinChin Tong, Daniel Kifer +2

The plausible deniability model of differential privacy for single-table datasets is well-understood. However, applying differential privacy to relational databases is much trickie…

The Trap of Trajectory: Towards Understanding and Mitigating Spurious Correlations in Agentic Memory

Luoxi Tang, Rupali Rajendra Vaje, Yuqiao Meng +5

Agentic memory enables LLMs to persist information beyond a single context window and reuse it in later decisions, but it also introduces a new vulnerability: spurious correlations…

The Permute-and-Flip Mechanism is Identical to Report-Noisy-Max with Exponential Noise

Zeyu Ding, Daniel Kifer, Sayed M. Saghaian N. E. +4

The permute-and-flip mechanism is a recently proposed differentially private selection algorithm that was shown to outperform the exponential mechanism. In this paper, we show that…
