    Explode: An Extensible Platform for Differentially Private Data Analysis
    (IEEE, 2016) Esmerdag, Emir; Gursoy, Mehmet Emre; Inan, Ali; Saygin, Yucel
    Differential privacy (DP) has emerged as a popular standard for privacy protection and received great attention from the research community. However, practitioners often find DP cumbersome to implement, since it requires additional protocols (e.g., for randomized response, noise addition) and changes to existing database systems. To avoid these issues we introduce Explode, a platform for differentially private data analysis. The power of Explode comes from its ease of deployment and use: The data owner can install Explode on top of an SQL server, without modifying any existing components. Explode then hosts a web application that allows users to conveniently perform many popular data analysis tasks through a graphical user interface, e.g., issuing statistical queries, classification, correlation analysis. Explode automatically converts these tasks to collections of SQL queries, and uses the techniques in [3] to determine the right amount of noise that should be added to satisfy DP while producing high utility outputs. This paper describes the current implementation of Explode, together with potential improvements and extensions.

    Graph-based modelling of query sets for differential privacy
    (Assoc Computing Machinery, 2016) Inan, Ali; Gursoy, Mehmet Emre; Esmerdag, Emir; Saygin, Yucel
    Differential privacy has gained attention from the community as the mechanism for privacy protection. Significant effort has focused on its application to data analysis, where statistical queries are submitted in batch and answers to these queries are perturbed with noise. The magnitude of this noise depends on the privacy parameter s and the sensitivity of the query set. However, computing the sensitivity is known to be NP-hard. In this study, we propose a method that approximates the sensitivity of a query set. Our solution builds a query-region-intersection graph. We prove that computing the maximum clique size of this graph is equivalent to bounding the sensitivity from above. Our bounds, to the best of our knowledge, are the tightest known in the literature. Our solution currently supports a limited but expressive subset of SQL queries (i.e., range queries), and almost all popular aggregate functions directly (except AVERAGE). Experimental results show the efficiency of our approach: even for large query sets (e.g., more than 2K queries over 5 attributes), by utilizing a state-of-the-art solution for the maximum clique problem, we can approximate sensitivity in under a minute.
