Abstract
A signal strength of Differential Privacy—a mathematically rigorous definition of privacy tailored to large datasets—is the ability not just to quantify privacy loss but also to analyze and control cumulative loss over multiple computations. In cryptographic terms, we understand how privacy loss “composes”. Not only is this crucial for the real-word use of data but it also gives rise to a rich algorithmic literature, as simple differentially private primitives can be combined in creative ways to construct complex differentially private analyses. This talk discusses recent analytical results in the composition of differentially private algorithms.
