This book focuses on differential privacy and its application with an
emphasis on technical and application aspects. This book also presents
the most recent research on differential privacy with a theory
perspective. It provides an approachable strategy for researchers and
engineers to implement differential privacy in real world applications.
Early chapters are focused on two major directions, differentially
private data publishing and differentially private data analysis. Data
publishing focuses on how to modify the original dataset or the queries
with the guarantee of differential privacy. Privacy data analysis
concentrates on how to modify the data analysis algorithm to satisfy
differential privacy, while retaining a high mining accuracy. The
authors also introduce several applications in real world applications,
including recommender systems and location privacy
Advanced level students in computer science and engineering, as well as
researchers and professionals working in privacy preserving, data
mining, machine learning and data analysis will find this book useful as
a reference. Engineers in database, network security, social networks
and web services will also find this book useful.
