What is Differential Privacy? - DTNS Explainer
14 oktober 2019 · 13 min
Data privacy. There's a lot of misinformation and overreaction when it comes to data privacy but that's in large part to the fact that there's a lot of lack of data privacy. People are rightly concerned. In this episode Tom describes very simply and generally what differential privacy is, and what you need to know about how it's used. Lees meer
On DTNS we try to balance the idea that companies do definitely need to improve data protection with the idea that sharing data at all isn't a bad thing in fact when done right can be a very good thing.
Not just for companies but academic research and nonprofits benefit from research on datasets. However just taking data, even when names are stripped off, can lead to trouble.

What is differential privacy?
An algorithm is differentially private if you can't tell who anybody is by looking at the output.
Here's a simple example. Let's say you want to publish the aggregate sales data of businesses by category. Stores want to keep sales data private. So you agree that only the total sales for a category will be published. That way you can't tell how much came from which businesses. Which is great until you come to the category of Shark repellent sales. There's only one shark repellent business in your region. If you publish that category you won't be saying the name of the business but it will be easy to tell who it is.
So, you have an algorithm that looks …
