• Title: Differentially Private Communication of Measurement Anomalies in the Smart Grid
• Authors: Nikhil Ravi, Anna Scaglione, Sean Peisert, Parth Pradhan,
• Abstract summary: We present a framework based on differential privacy (DP) for querying electric power measurements to detect system anomalies or bad data. Our DP approach conceals consumption and system matrix data, while simultaneously enabling an untrusted third party to test hypotheses of anomalies. We propose a novel DP chi-square noise mechanism that ensures the test does not reveal private information about power injections or the system matrix.

• Abstract: In this paper, we present a framework based on differential privacy (DP) for querying electric power measurements to detect system anomalies or bad data. Our DP approach conceals consumption and system matrix data, while simultaneously enabling an untrusted third party to test hypotheses of anomalies, such as the presence of bad data, by releasing a randomized sufficient statistic for hypothesis-testing. We consider a measurement model corrupted by Gaussian noise and a sparse noise vector representing the attack, and we observe that the optimal test statistic is a chi-square random variable. To detect possible attacks, we propose a novel DP chi-square noise mechanism that ensures the test does not reveal private information about power injections or the system matrix. The proposed framework provides a robust solution for detecting bad data while preserving the privacy of sensitive power system data.

  Prediction Shift Backdoor Detection (PSBD) is a novel method for identifying backdoor samples in deep neural networks. PSBD is motivated by an intriguing Prediction Shift (PS) phenomenon, where poisoned models' predictions on clean data often shift away from true labels towards certain other labels. PSBD identifies backdoor training samples by computing the Prediction Shift Uncertainty (PSU), the variance in probability values when dropout layers are toggled on and off during model inference.

  Differential privacy (DP) can measure privacy loss by observing the changes in the distribution caused by the inclusion of individuals in the target dataset. DP has been prominent in safeguarding datasets in machine learning in industry giants like Apple and Google. We propose per-instance DP (pDP) as a constraint, measuring privacy loss for each data instance and optimizing noise tailored to individual instances.

  Generative adversarial network (GAN) has attracted increasing attention recently owing to its impressive ability to generate realistic samples with high privacy protection. However, when GANs are applied on sensitive or private training examples, such as medical or financial records, it is still probable to divulge individuals' sensitive and private information. We propose a R'enyi-differentially private-GAN (RDP-GAN), which achieves differential privacy (DP) in a GAN by carefully adding random noises on the value of the loss function during training.
