Abstract
Data is money in computer science. It provides companies insights into user behaviour and is invaluable in medical research. But how is your privacy protected when your data is released into the public domain?
In this talk I will look at some basic ways to โanonymizeโ data and then show how we can attack these methods and give some examples of some high profile cases of these attacks. I will then introduce differential privacy, giving you an overview of the mathematical foundations that it stands on and some of its key properties that it guarantees when you use it to anonymise data.
Series This talk is part of the Churchill CompSci Talks series.
