Title:
A statistical framework for differential privacy

Supervisor:
Jan JOHANNES

Abstract:
A goal of statistical privacy is to construct a data release mechanism that protects individual privacy while preserving information content. Differential privacy is a privacy requirement developed by computer scientists. We consider differential privacy from a statistical perspective and study several data-release mechanisms that satisfy differential privacy. We compare these schemes by computing the rate of convergence of distributions and densities constructed from the released data.
