Title:

An introduction to Differential Privacy

 

Abstract:

Differential privacy is a mathematically rigorous framework for privacy-preserving computations. Although the notion is relatively recent (it was introduced less than 20 years ago), differential privacy has been deployed in many practical applications. In this talk, I will introduce the basic definitions and properties of differential privacy and give a brief overview on some recent developments in the field.
