A Note on Sanitizing Streams with Differential Privacy

Understand

The literature on data sanitization aims to design algorithms that take an input dataset and produce a privacy-preserving version of it, that captures some of its statistical properties.

• In this note we study this question from a streaming perspective and our goal is to sanitize a data stream.
• Specifically, we consider low-memory algorithms that operate on a data stream and produce an alternative privacy-preserving stream that captures some statistical properties of the original input stream.
