• Abstract: This chapter is meant to be part of the book "Differential Privacy in Artificial Intelligence: From Theory to Practice" and provides an introduction to Differential Privacy. It starts by illustrating various attempts to protect data privacy, emphasizing where and why they failed, and providing the key desiderata of a robust privacy definition. It then defines the key actors, tasks, and scopes that make up the domain of privacy-preserving data analysis. Following that, it formalizes the definition of Differential Privacy and its inherent properties, including composition, post-processing immunity, and group privacy. The chapter also reviews the basic techniques and mechanisms commonly used to implement Differential Privacy in its pure and approximate forms.

• Masked Differential Privacy [64.32494202656801]
  We propose an effective approach called masked differential privacy (DP), which allows for controlling sensitive regions where differential privacy is applied. Our method operates selectively on data and allows for defining non-sensitive-temporal regions without DP application or combining differential privacy with other privacy techniques within data samples.

We then study the cost of interactive joint privacy in the basic setting of online classification.

  We consider partial differential privacy (DP), which allows quantifying the privacy guarantee on a per-attribute basis. 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.

  We experimentally demonstrate that networks, trained with differential privacy, in some settings might be even more vulnerable in comparison to non-private versions. We study how the main ingredients of differentially private neural networks training, such as gradient clipping and noise addition, affect the robustness of the model.
