Google's differential privacy library
Google has announced
the release of a new library for applications using differential privacy
techniques. "Differentially-private data analysis is a principled
approach that enables organizations to learn from the majority of their
data while simultaneously ensuring that those results do not allow any
individual's data to be distinguished or re-identified. This type of
analysis can be implemented in a wide variety of ways and for many
different purposes. For example, if you are a health researcher, you may
want to compare the average amount of time patients remain admitted across
various hospitals in order to determine if there are differences in
care. Differential privacy is a high-assurance, analytic means of ensuring
that use cases like this are addressed in a privacy-preserving
manner.
