Abstract: Techniques are described for budget tracking in a differentially private security system. A request to perform a query of a private database system is received by a privacy device from a client device. The request is associated with a level of differential privacy. A privacy budget corresponding to the received request is accessed by the privacy device. The privacy budget includes a cumulative privacy spend and a maximum privacy spend, the cumulative privacy spend representative of previous queries of the private database system. A privacy spend associated with the received request is determined by the privacy device based at least in part on the level of differential privacy associated with the received request. If a sum of the determined privacy spend and the cumulative privacy spend is less than the maximum privacy spend, the query is performed. Otherwise a security action is performed based on a security policy.

Abstract: A hardware database privacy device is communicatively coupled to a private database system. The hardware database privacy device receives a request from a client device to perform a query of the private database system and identifies a level of differential privacy corresponding to the request. The identified level of differential privacy includes privacy parameters (?,?) indicating the degree of information released about the private database system. The hardware database privacy device identifies a set of operations to be performed on the set of data that corresponds to the requested query. After the set of data is accessed, the set of operations is modified based on the identified level of differential privacy such that a performance of the modified set of operations produces a result set that is (?,?)-differentially private.

Abstract: A differentially private security system communicatively coupled to a database storing restricted data receives a database query from a client. The database query includes a relation specifying a set of data in the database upon which to perform the query and privacy parameters associated with the query. The differentially private security system determines a worst-case privacy spend for the query based on the privacy parameters and the relation. The differentially private security system performs the query upon the set of data specified by the relation and decrements the determined worst-case privacy spend from a privacy budget associated with the client. The differentially private security system records the worst-case privacy spend and the query at a log and determines a privacy budget refund based on queries recorded in the log. The differentially private security system applies the determined privacy budget refund to the privacy budget associated with the client.

Abstract: A differentially private security system communicatively coupled to a database storing restricted data receives a database query from a client. The database query includes a relation indicative of data to perform the query upon and at least one privacy parameter indicative of a level of differential privacy with which to perform the query. The differentially private security system determines a noise type for the query. The differentially private security system determines a representation of probabilistic privacy loss for the query based on the determined noise type. The differentially private security system determines a privacy spend for the query using the generated representation of probabilistic privacy loss. The differentially private security system determines whether the determined privacy spend exceeds a privacy budget associated with the client.

Abstract: A request from a client is received to generate a differentially private random forest classifier trained using a set of restricted data. The differentially private random forest classifier is generated in response to the request. Generating the differentially private random forest classifier includes determining a number of decision trees and generating the determined number of decision trees. Generating a decision tree includes generating a set of splits based on the restricted data, determining an information gain for each split, selecting a split from the set using an exponential mechanism, and adding the split to the decision tree. The differentially private random forest classifier is provided to the client.

Abstract: Techniques are described for responding to queries of a private database system. A request is received from a client device to perform a query of the private database system. A level of differential privacy corresponding to the request is identified comprising privacy parameters ? and ?. A set of data stored in the private database system and a set of operations corresponding to the query are identified. The set of operations comprises generating a density plot visualization for one or more subsets of the set of data. The set of data is segmented into disjoint regions. For each disjoint region, a density is identified, and the density is plotted in a differentially private density plot visualization using one or more graphical elements.
