• Abstract: Providing meaningful privacy to users of location based services is particularly challenging when multiple locations are revealed in a short period of time. This is primarily due to the tremendous degree of dependence that can be anticipated between points. We propose a R\'enyi divergence based privacy framework for bounding expected privacy loss for conditionally dependent data. Additionally, we demonstrate an algorithm for achieving this privacy under Gaussian process conditional priors. This framework both exemplifies why conditionally dependent data is so challenging to protect and offers a strategy for preserving privacy to within a fixed radius for sensitive locations in a user's trace.

We put forth a novel Permute-and-Flip mechanism for location perturbation, which maps its initial application in data publishing privacy protection to a location perturbation mechanism.

  This work considers the problem of mean estimation, where each user can impose their own privacy level. The algorithm we propose is shown to be minimax optimal and has a near-linear run-time. Users with less but differing privacy requirements are all given more privacy than they require, in equal amounts.

In this work, we study several basic data analysis and learning tasks, and design algorithms whose per-attribute privacy parameter is smaller that the best possible privacy parameter for the entire record of a person.

  Well-known advanced composition theorems allow one to query a private database quadratically more times than basic privacy composition would permit. We introduce fully adaptive composition, wherein both algorithms and their privacy parameters can be selected adaptively. We construct filters that match the rates of advanced composition, including constants, despite allowing for adaptively chosen privacy parameters.

Our result shows that it is possible to obtain a tradeoff between JDP and LDP by leveraging the shuffle model while preserving local privacy.

Third, we design a private location trace release framework that pipelines the detection of location exposure, policy graph repair, and private trajectory release with customizable and rigorous location privacy.
