Easy Differential Privacy

v0.4.2 · Jul 18, 2017 · MIT + file LICENSE

Description

An implementation of major general-purpose mechanisms for privatizing statistics, models, and machine learners, within the framework of differential privacy of Dwork et al. (2006) <doi:10.1007/11681878_14>. Example mechanisms include the Laplace mechanism for releasing numeric aggregates, and the exponential mechanism for releasing set elements. A sensitivity sampler (Rubinstein & Alda, 2017) <arXiv:1706.02562> permits sampling target non-private function sensitivity; combined with the generic mechanisms, it permits turn-key privatization of arbitrary programs.
