Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2015026384A1] The present principles focus on the privacy-utility tradeoff encountered by a user who wishes to release some public data (denoted by X) to an analyst, that is correlated with his private data (denoted by S), in the hope of getting some utility. The public data is distorted before its release according to a probabilistic privacy preserving mapping mechanism, which limits information leakage under utility constraints. In particular, this probabilistic privacy mechanism is modeled as a conditional distribution, P_(Y|X), where Y is the actual released data to the analyst. The present principles design utility-aware privacy preserving mapping mechanisms against inference attacks, when only partial, or no, statistical knowledge of the prior distribution, P_(S,X), is available. Specifically, using maximal correlation techniques, the present principles provide a separability result on the information leakage that leads to the design of the privacy preserving mapping.
