• Authors: Miti Mazmudar, Shannon Veitch, Rasoul Akhavan Mahdavi,
• Abstract summary: The InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) is a peer-to-peer network for storing data in a distributed file system, hosting over 190,000 peers spanning 152 countries. Our work highlights and addresses novel challenges inherent to integrating PIR into distributed systems. We present our new, private protocols and demonstrate they incur reasonably low communication and computation overheads.

• Abstract: The InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) is a peer-to-peer network for storing data in a distributed file system, hosting over 190,000 peers spanning 152 countries. Despite its prominence, the privacy properties that IPFS offers to peers are severely limited. Any query within the network leaks the queried content to other peers. We address IPFS' privacy leakage across three functionalities (peer routing, provider advertisements, and content retrieval), ultimately empowering peers to privately navigate and retrieve content in the network. Our work highlights and addresses novel challenges inherent to integrating PIR into distributed systems. We present our new, private protocols and demonstrate that they incur reasonably low communication and computation overheads. We also provide a systematic comparison of state-of-art PIR protocols in the context of distributed systems.

  We study differential privacy (DP) in a multi-party setting where each party only trusts a (known) subset of the other parties with its data. We give a DP algorithm for aggregation with a much better privacy-utility trade-off than in the well-studied local model of DP.

  This paper characterizes the impact of Differential Privacy on bias and unfairness in the context of releasing information about networks. We consider a network release problem where the network structure is known to all, but the weights on edges must be released privately. Our work provides theoretical foundations and empirical evidence into the bias and unfairness arising due to privacy in these networked decision problems.

  Port forwarding services (PFS) make web services deployed in internal networks available on the Internet along with better usability. Our study is made possible through a set of novel methodologies, which are designed to uncover the technical mechanisms of PFS. We have observed the widespread adoption of PFS with millions of PFWs distributed across tens of thousands of ISPs worldwide.

  In federated learning, a federator coordinates the training of a model on privately owned data held by several participating clients. In this paper, we consider a hierarchical wireless system architecture in which the clients are connected to base stations. We derive fundamental limits on the communication cost under information-theoretic privacy with different collusion assumptions.

  State-of-the-art systems explicitly retrieve relevant information to a user question from a background corpus before producing an answer. While today's retrieval systems assume the corpus is fully accessible, users are often unable or unwilling to expose their private data to entities hosting public data. We first define the PUBLIC-PRIVATE AUTOREGRESSIVE Information RETRIEVAL (PAIR) privacy framework for the novel retrieval setting over multiple privacy scopes.

  Federated learning involves a central processor that works with multiple agents to find a global model. The current architecture of a server connected to multiple clients is highly sensitive to communication failures and computational overloads at the server. We use cryptographic and differential privacy concepts to privatize the federated learning algorithm that we extend to the graph structure.

  Quantum private information retrieval (QPIR) for quantum messages is the protocol in which a user retrieves one of the multiple quantum states from one or multiple servers without revealing which state is retrieved. We consider QPIR in two different settings: the blind setting, in which the servers contain one copy of the message states, and the visible setting, in which the servers contain the description of the message states.

• Towards Differentially Private Text Representations [52.64048365919954]
  We develop a new deep learning framework under an untrusted server setting. For the randomization module, we propose a novel local differentially private (LDP) protocol to reduce the impact of privacy parameter $epsilon$ on accuracy. Analysis and experiments show that our framework delivers comparable or even better performance than the non-private framework and existing LDP protocols.
