Information-Theoretic Privacy with General Distortion Constraints

Kousha Kalantari, Oliver Kosut, Lalitha Sankar

The privacy-utility tradeoff problem is formulated as determining the privacy mechanism (random mapping) that minimizes the mutual information (a metric for privacy leakage) betwee…

Reveal-or-Obscure: A Differentially Private Sampling Algorithm for Discrete Distributions

Naima Tasnim, Atefeh Gilani, Lalitha Sankar +1

We introduce a differentially private (DP) algorithm called reveal-or-obscure (ROO) to generate a single representative sample from a dataset of observations drawn i.i.d. from…

An information theorist's tour of differential privacy

Anand D. Sarwate, Flavio P. Calmon, Oliver Kosut +1

Since being proposed in 2006, differential privacy has become a standard method for quantifying certain risks in publishing or sharing analyses of sensitive data. At its heart, dif…

Optimizing Noise Distributions for Differential Privacy

Atefeh Gilani, Juan Felipe Gomez, Shahab Asoodeh +3

We propose a unified optimization framework for designing continuous and discrete noise distributions that ensure differential privacy (DP) by minimizing Rényi DP, a variant of DP…

Switched Feedback for the Multiple-Access Channel

Oliver Kosut, Michael Langberg, Michelle Effros

A mechanism called switched feedback is introduced; under switched feedback, each channel output goes forward to the receiver(s) or back to the transmitter(s) but never both. By st…
