• Abstract summary: SPECIAL is a secure collaborative analytics system that simultaneously ensures bounded privacy loss and advanced query planning. It significantly outperforms cutting-edge SCAs, with up to 80X faster query times and over 900X smaller memory for complex queries. It also achieves up to an 89X reduction in privacy loss under continual processing.

• Abstract: Secure collaborative analytics (SCA) enable the processing of analytical SQL queries across multiple owners' data, even when direct data sharing is not feasible. Although essential for strong privacy, the large overhead from data-oblivious primitives in traditional SCA has hindered its practical adoption. Recent SCA variants that permit controlled leakages under differential privacy (DP) show a better balance between privacy and efficiency. However, they still face significant challenges, such as potentially unbounded privacy loss, suboptimal query planning, and lossy processing. To address these challenges, we introduce SPECIAL, the first SCA system that simultaneously ensures bounded privacy loss, advanced query planning, and lossless processing. SPECIAL employs a novel synopsis-assisted secure processing model, where a one-time privacy cost is spent to acquire private synopses (table statistics) from owner data. These synopses then allow SPECIAL to estimate (compaction) sizes for secure operations (e.g., filter, join) and index encrypted data without extra privacy loss. Crucially, these estimates and indexes can be prepared before runtime, thereby facilitating efficient query planning and accurate cost estimations. Moreover, by using one-sided noise mechanisms and private upper bound techniques, SPECIAL ensures strict lossless processing for complex queries (e.g., multi-join). Through a comprehensive benchmark, we show that SPECIAL significantly outperforms cutting-edge SCAs, with up to 80X faster query times and over 900X smaller memory for complex queries. Moreover, it also achieves up to an 89X reduction in privacy loss under continual processing.

  Collaborative inference among multiple wireless edge devices has the potential to significantly enhance Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications. transmitting extracted features poses a significant privacy risk, as sensitive personal data can be exposed during the process. We propose a novel privacy-preserving collaborative inference mechanism, wherein each edge device in the network secures the privacy of extracted features before transmitting them to a central server for inference.
