DP-Auditorium: A flexible library for auditing differential privacy

Read the original on Google AI Blog →

Posted by Mónica Ribero Díaz, Research Scientist, Google Research Differential privacy (DP) is a property of randomized mechanisms that limit the influence of any individual user’s information while processing and analyzing data. DP offers a robust solution to address growing concerns about data protection, enabling technologies across industries and government applications (e.

Datasette 1.0a39 and 0.65.4 security releases

Datasette 1.0a39 and 0.65.4 are new security patch releases for the current alpha series and the stable 0.65.x family. The updates address security fixes that are important for public-facing Datasette instances, especially those that mix public and private tables. The patches were developed after an extensive audit using advanced AI models and collaborative review, and the process will be incorporated into future development work.

Reliable Estimation of Differential Privacy under Selection Bias

The paper addresses a flaw in differential privacy audits where selection bias in Membership Inference Attacks leads to overestimated lower bounds on privacy leakage. By applying statistical correction methods, the authors demonstrate that uncorrected audits can violate theoretical privacy guarantees up to four times more often than claimed, while corrected audits maintain valid bounds at the nominal confidence level.
