Differential privacy protects an individuals privacy by perturbing data on an aggregated level (DP) or individual level (LDP). We report four online human-subject experiments investigating the effects of using different approaches to communicate differential privacy techniques to laypersons in a health app data collection setting. Experiments 1 and 2 investigated participants data disclosure decisions for low-sensitive and high-sensitive personal information when given different DP or LDP descriptions. Experiments 3 and 4 uncovered reasons behind participants data sharing decisions, and examined participants subjective and objective comprehensions of these DP or LDP descriptions. When shown descriptions that explain the implications instead of the definition/processes of DP or LDP technique, participants demonstrated better comprehension and showed more willingness to share information with LDP than with DP, indicating their understanding of LDPs stronger privacy guarantee compared with DP.

Privacy-preserving genomic data sharing is prominent to increase the pace of genomic research, and hence to pave the way towards personalized genomic medicine. In this paper, we introduce ($epsilon , T$)-dependent local differential privacy (LDP) for privacy-preserving sharing of correlated data and propose a genomic data sharing mechanism under this privacy definition. We first show that the original definition of LDP is not suitable for genomic data sharing, and then we propose a new mechanism to share genomic data. The proposed mechanism considers the correlations in data during data sharing, eliminates statistically unlikely data values beforehand, and adjusts the probability distributions for each shared data point accordingly. By doing so, we show that we can avoid an attacker from inferring the correct values of the shared data points by utilizing the correlations in the data. By adjusting the probability distributions of the shared states of each data point, we also improve the utility of shared data for the data collector. Furthermore, we develop a greedy algorithm that strategically identifies the processing order of the shared data points with the aim of maximizing the utility of the shared data. Considering the interdependent privacy risks while sharing genomic data, we also analyze the information gain of an attacker about genomes of a donors family members by observing perturbed data of the genome donor and we propose a mechanism to select the privacy budget (i.e., $epsilon$ parameter of LDP) of the donor by also considering privacy preferences of her family members. Our evaluation results on a real-life genomic dataset show the superiority of the proposed mechanism compared to the randomized response mechanism (a widely used technique to achieve LDP).
Local Differential Privacy (LDP) is popularly used in practice for privacy-preserving data collection. Although existing LDP protocols offer high utility for large user populations (100,000 or more users), they perform poorly in scenarios with small user populations (such as those in the cybersecurity domain) and lack perturbation mechanisms that are effective for both ordinal and non-ordinal item sequences while protecting sequence length and content simultaneously. In this paper, we address the small user population problem by introducing the concept of Condensed Local Differential Privacy (CLDP) as a specialization of LDP, and develop a suite of CLDP protocols that offer desirable statistical utility while preserving privacy. Our protocols support different types of client data, ranging from ordinal data types in finite metric spaces (numeric malware infection statistics), to non-ordinal items (O
Permissioned blockchain such as Hyperledger fabric enables a secure supply chain model in Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) through multichannel and private data collection mechanisms. Sharing of Industrial data including private data exchange at every stage between supply chain partners helps to improve product quality, enable future forecast, and enhance management activities. However, the existing data sharing and querying mechanism in Hyperledger fabric is not suitable for supply chain environment in IIoT because the queries are evaluated on actual data stored on ledger which consists of sensitive information such as business secrets, and special discounts offered to retailers and individuals. To solve this problem, we propose a differential privacy-based permissioned blockchain using Hyperledger fabric to enable private data sharing in supply chain in IIoT (DH-IIoT). We integrate differential privacy into the chaindcode (smart contract) of Hyperledger fabric to achieve privacy preservation. As a result, the query response consists of perturbed data which protects the sensitive information in the ledger. The proposed work (DH-IIoT) is evaluated by simulating a permissioned blockchain using Hyperledger fabric. We compare our differential privacy integrated chaincode of Hyperledger fabric with the default chaincode setting of Hyperledger fabric for supply chain scenario. The results confirm that the proposed work maintains 96.15% of accuracy in the shared data while guarantees the protection of sensitive ledgers data.
Differential privacy offers a formal framework for reasoning about privacy and accuracy of computations on private data. It also offers a rich set of building blocks for constructing data analyses. When carefully calibrated, these analyses simultaneously guarantee privacy of the individuals contributing their data, and accuracy of their results for inferring useful properties about the population. The compositional nature of differential privacy has motivated the design and implementation of several programming languages aimed at helping a data analyst in programming differentially private analyses. However, most of the programming languages for differential privacy proposed so far provide support for reasoning about privacy but not for reasoning about the accuracy of data analyses. To overcome this limitation, in this work we present DPella, a programming framework providing data analysts with support for reasoning about privacy, accuracy and their trade-offs. The distinguishing feature of DPella is a novel component which statically tracks the accuracy of different data analyses. In order to make tighter accuracy estimations, this component leverages taint analysis for automatically inferring statistical independence of the different noise quantities added for guaranteeing privacy. We show the flexibility of our approach by not only implementing classical counting queries (e.g., CDFs) but also by analyzing hierarchical counting queries (like those done by Census Bureaus), where accuracy have different constraints per level and data analysts should figure out the best manner to calibrate privacy to meet the accuracy requirements.
Privacy preservation is a big concern for various sectors. To protect individual user data, one emerging technology is differential privacy. However, it still has limitations for datasets with frequent queries, such as the fast accumulation of privacy cost. To tackle this limitation, this paper explores the integration of a secured decentralised ledger, blockchain. Blockchain will be able to keep track of all noisy responses generated with differential privacy algorithm and allow for certain queries to reuse old responses. In this paper, a demo of a proposed blockchain-based privacy management system is designed as an interactive decentralised web application (DApp). The demo created illustrates that leveraging on blockchain will allow the total privacy cost accumulated to decrease significantly.
