This is the forth post of my data privacy series. Please refer to the first post for detail of differential privacy. 🙂 While differential privacy is probably the hottest research area in data privacy. It is not immune from critics. The strongest criticism to differential privacy is that one has to increase the noise amplitude as…
This is the third post of my data privacy series. Please refer to the first post for the definition of differential privacy and the second post for privacy mechanism. Robustness of differential privacy versus processing If a mechanism is -differential private to begin with, then further operation on is still -differential private. Proof: Let’s assume…
This is the second post of my data privacy series. You may want to also check out this post for an introduction to data privacy and differential privacy. 🙂 For convenient, let’s repeat the definition of differential privacy from the previous post. Definition: -Differential Privacy The query is -differentially private if and only if for…
I need to work on a data privacy project and so am spending some time to review some notes I wrote couple years ago. I guess it would be a great exercise to reorganize them into a post series. And this will be my first post of this series. 🙂 Introduction to data privacy From…
Let say if Alice would like to send a secret message to Bob, she may want to first encrypt the message before sending it. Modern cryptographic techniques all use some secret keys to encrypt and decrypt a message. For example, we may generate a random sequence with a predefined seed (the key) and take the…
A group $latex G$ in the context of math is a simple algebraic structure with a product operation $latex *$. Naturally, the operator won’t be of much use if the structure is not closed under the operation. Namely, we would like to have $latex a * b$ also in $latex G$ if both elements $latex…
Getting nostalgia and suddenly would like to play a round of old StarCraft. I have upgraded to 16.04 since last year and couldn’t set resolution to 640×480 from Displays setting. But simply using xrandr -s actually works: xrandr -s 640×480 I can then recalibrate the stylus with the usual Wacom Tablet setting. 🙂
