Noiseless privacy: Definition, guarantees, and applications

F Farokhi - IEEE Transactions on Big Data, 2021 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
In this article, we define noiseless privacy, as a non-stochastic rival to differential privacy,
requiring that the outputs of a mechanism (ie, function composition of a privacy-preserving …
