政府机构的差分隐私——我们准备好了吗?

Differential Privacy for Government Agencies -- Are We There Yet?

Joerg Drechsler

AI总结:

本文探讨了政府机构在采用差分隐私时面临的挑战,指出其与工业界需求的根本差异,强调需跨学科合作解决数据共享中的隐私保护问题。

摘要:

政府机构在发布基于其数据的统计数据或允许外部研究人员访问收集的数据时,通常需要考虑潜在的披露风险。在此背景下,差分隐私等概念提供的正式隐私保证似乎是灵丹妙药,使机构能够准确量化和控制任何数据发布所带来的隐私损失。然而,尽管学术界和工业界对此充满热情,但除美国人口普查局这一显著例外,大多数机构甚至不愿考虑将这一概念用于其数据发布策略。本文探讨了造成这一现象的潜在原因。我们认为,在政府机构实施差分隐私方法的要求通常与工业界的要求存在根本差异。这引发了许多挑战和问题,在将该概念作为向公众共享数据的总体原则之前,仍需解决这些问题。本文未提供任何解决方案,而是希望能促进一些协作研究,因为我们认为许多问题只能通过跨学科合作来解决。

英文摘要:

Government agencies typically need to take potential risks of disclosure into account whenever they publish statistics based on their data or give external researchers access to collected data. In this context, the promise of formal privacy guarantees offered by concepts such as differential privacy seems to be the panacea enabling the agencies to quantify and control the privacy loss incurred by any data release exactly. Nevertheless, despite the excitement in academia and industry, most agencies -- with the prominent exception of the U.S. Census Bureau -- have been reluctant to even consider the concept for their data release strategy. This paper discusses potential reasons for this. We argue that the requirements for implementing differential privacy approaches at government agencies are often fundamentally different from the requirements in industry. This raises many challenges and questions that still need to be addressed before the concept can be used as an overarching principle when sharing data with the public. The paper does not offer any solutions to these challenges. Instead, we hope to stimulate some collaborative research efforts, as we believe that many of the problems can only be addressed by interdisciplinary collaborations.
