Notes on information-theoretic privacy [PDF]
We investigate the tradeoff between privacy and utility in a situation where both privacy and utility are measured in terms of mutual information. For the binary case, we fully characterize this tradeoff in case of perfect privacy and also give an upper-bound for the case where some privacy leakage is allowed.

The ontological interpretation of informational privacy [PDF]
The paper outlines a new interpretation of informational privacy and of its moral value. The main theses defended are: (a) informational privacy is a function of the ontological friction in the infosphere, that is, of the forces that oppose the information flow within the space of information; (b) digital ICTs (information and communication ...

An information-theoretic approach to privacy [PDF]
Ensuring the usefulness of electronic data sources while providing necessary privacy guarantees is an important unsolved problem. This problem drives the need for an overarching analytical framework that can quantify the safety of personally identifiable information (privacy) while still providing a quantifable benefit (utility) to multiple legitimate ...

Information Design for Differential Privacy [PDF]
Firms and statistical agencies must protect the privacy of the individuals whose data they collect, analyze, and publish. Increasingly, these organizations do so by using publication mechanisms that satisfy differential privacy. We consider the problem of choosing such a mechanism so as to maximize the value of its output to end users.

From most objective standpoints, protecting information privacy though industry self-regulation is an abject failure. The current political climate has been hostile to proposals for meaningful privacy regulation. Privacy advocates have been casting around for some third alternative and a number of them have fastened on the idea that data privacy can be

Abstract Privacy of consumers or citizens is often seen as an inefficient information asymmetry. We challenge this view by showing that privacy can increase welfare in an informational sense. It can also improve information aggregation and prevent inefficient statistical discrimination.

Protecting Privacy of Genomic Information
The ISO/IEC committee in charge of standardizing the well-known MPEG audiovisual standards has launched, in cooperation with the ISO committee on Biotechnology, a new activity for efficient compressed storage and transmission of genomic information. The paper presents proposals for adding privacy and security to such in-progress standards.
