Review of Differential Privacy Research

Abstract

In the past decade,widespread data collection has become the norm.With the rapid development of large-scale data analysis and machine learning,data privacy is facing fundamental challenges.Exploring the trade-offs between privacy protection and data collection and analysis is a key scientific question.Differential privacy has become a de facto data privacy standard and has been widely studied and applied.Differential privacy technology can provide strict privacy protection for user data through a certain randomization mechanism.This paper provides a comprehensive overview of differential privacy technology and a summary and analysis of the latest progress of differential privacy.Specifically,this paper first gives a theoretical summary of differential privacy,including the central model,the local model and the shuffle model proposed in recent years.The three models are compared,and the advantages and disadvantages of different models are analyzed.Then,on the basis of the three models,some typical differential privacy mechanisms in literatures are analyzed from the perspective of algorithms.Then the current application of differential privacy technology in various fields is introduced.Finally,some new research topics about differential privacy technology are introduced,which expand the rich research direction for differential privacy technology.
