Differential Secrecy for Distributed Data and Applications to Robust Differentially Secure Vector Summation

Authors: Kunal Talwar

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 218, 3rd Symposium on Foundations of Responsible Computing (FORC 2022)

Abstract
Computing the noisy sum of real-valued vectors is an important primitive in differentially private learning and statistics. In private federated learning applications, these vectors are held by client devices, leading to a distributed summation problem. Standard Secure Multiparty Computation protocols for this problem are susceptible to poisoning attacks, where a client may have a large influence on the sum, without being detected. In this work, we propose a poisoning-robust private summation protocol in the multiple-server setting, recently studied in PRIO [Henry Corrigan-Gibbs and Dan Boneh, 2017]. We present a protocol for vector summation that verifies that the Euclidean norm of each contribution is approximately bounded. We show that by relaxing the security constraint in SMC to a differential privacy like guarantee, one can improve over PRIO in terms of communication requirements as well as the client-side computation. Unlike SMC algorithms that inevitably cast integers to elements of a large finite field, our algorithms work over integers/reals, which may allow for additional efficiencies.

Fully Dynamic All-Pairs Shortest Paths: Breaking the O(n) Barrier

Authors: Ittai Abraham, Shiri Chechik, and Kunal Talwar

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 28, Approximation, Randomization, and Combinatorial Optimization. Algorithms and Techniques (APPROX/RANDOM 2014)

Abstract
A fully dynamic approximate distance oracle is a distance reporting data structure that supports dynamic insert edge and delete edge operations. In this paper we break a longstanding barrier in the design of fully dynamic all-pairs approximate distance oracles. All previous results for this model incurred an amortized cost of at least Omega(n) per operation. We present the first construction that provides constant stretch and o(m) amortized update time. For graphs that are not too dense (where |E| = O(|V|^{2-delta}) for some delta>0 we break the O(n) barrier and provide the first construction with constant stretch and o(n) amortized cost.

Differentially Private Combinatorial Optimization

Authors: Kunal Talwar, Anupam Gupta, Katrina Ligett, Frank McSherry, and Aaron Roth

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 9511, Parameterized complexity and approximation algorithms (2010)

Abstract
Consider the following problem: given a metric space, some of whose points are ``clients,'' select a set of at most $k$ facility locations to minimize the average distance from the clients to their nearest facility. This is just the well-studied $k$-median problem, for which many approximation algorithms and hardness results are known. Note that the objective function encourages opening facilities in areas where there are many clients, and given a solution, it is often possible to get a good idea of where the clients are located. This raises the following quandary: what if the locations of the clients are sensitive information that we would like to keep private? emph{Is it even possible to design good algorithms for this problem that preserve the privacy of the clients?} In this paper, we initiate a systematic study of algorithms for discrete optimization problems in the framework of differential privacy (which formalizes the idea of protecting the privacy of individual input elements). We show that many such problems indeed have good approximation algorithms that preserve differential privacy; this is even in cases where it is impossible to preserve cryptographic definitions of privacy while computing any non-trivial approximation to even the emph{value} of an optimal solution, let alone the entire solution. Apart from the $k$-median problem, we consider the problems of vertex and set cover, min-cut, facility location, and Steiner tree, and give approximation algorithms and lower bounds for these problems. We also consider the recently introduced submodular maximization problem, ``Combinatorial Public Projects'' (CPP), shown by Papadimitriou et al. cite{PSS08} to be inapproximable to subpolynomial multiplicative factors by any efficient and emph{truthful} algorithm. We give a differentially private (and hence approximately truthful) algorithm that achieves a logarithmic additive approximation. Joint work with Anupam Gupta, Katrina Ligett, Frank McSherry and Aaron Roth.
