OPTIMEC

  • Project title: Optimal Mechanisms for Privacy Protection

  • Funded by: DigiCosme

  • Duration: September 2016 - July 2018

  • Coordinator: Catuscia Palamidessi, Inria Saclay, EPI Comète

  • Other PI's: Serge Haddad, ENS Cachan.

  • Abstract: In this project we investigate classes of utility and privacy measures, and we devise methods to obtain optimal mechanisms with respect to the trade-off between utility and privacy. In order to represent the probabilistic knowledge of the adversary and of the user, and the fact that mechanisms themselves can be randomized, we consider a probabilistic setting. We focus, in particular, on measures that are expressible as linear functions of the probabilities.

SUPREME

  • Project title: Statistical-Utility Preserving Methods for Privacy Protection

  • Funded by: Département STIC

  • Duration: 2018 - 2019

  • Coordinator: Catuscia Palamidessi, Inria Saclay, EPI Comète

  • Other PI's: Serge Haddad, ENS Cachan.

  • Abstract: In this project we study the theoretical foundations, methods and tools to protect the privacy of the individuals under certain constraints. In particular we focus on mechanisms that: (1) are robust with respect to combination of information from different sources, (2) can be applied directly by the user, thus avoiding the need of a trusted party, and (3) provide an optimal trade-off between privacy and utility.
