Research on Selection Method of Privacy Parameter ε

Abstract EN

Budget factor is an important factor to measure the intensity of differential privacy, and its allocation scheme has a great impact on privacy protection.

This paper studies the selection of the parameter ε in several cases of differential privacy.

Firstly, this paper proposes a differential privacy protection parameter configuration method based on fault tolerance interval and analyzes the adversaryʼs fault tolerance under different noise distribution location parameters and scale parameters.

Secondly, this paper proposes an algorithm to optimize the application scenarios of multiquery, studies the location parameters and scale parameters in detail, and proposes a differential privacy mechanism to solve the multiuser query scenarios.

Thirdly, this paper proposes the differential privacy parameter selection methods based on the single attack and repeated attacks and calculates the upper bound of the parameter ε based on the sensitivity Δq, the length of the fault tolerance interval L, and the success probabilityp as long as the fault tolerance interval.

Finally, we have carried out a variety of simulation experiments to verify our research scheme and give the corresponding analysis results.
