Abstract

Differential privacy is a widely studied notion of privacy for various models of computation. Technically, it is based on measuring differences between probability distributions. We study \(\epsilon ,\delta \)-differential privacy in the setting of labelled Markov chains. While the exact differences relevant to \(\epsilon ,\delta \)-differential privacy are not computable in this framework, we propose a computable bisimilarity distance that yields a sound technique for measuring \(\delta \), the parameter that quantifies deviation from pure differential privacy. We show this bisimilarity distance is always rational, the associated threshold problem is in NP, and the distance can be computed exactly with polynomially many calls to an NP oracle.

Fußnoten
1
A pseudometric must satisfy \(m(x,x)=0\), \(m(x,y)=m(y,x)\) and \(m(x,z)\le m(x,y)+m(y,z)\). For metrics, one additionally requires that \(m(x,y)=0\) should imply \(x=y\).

More precisely, the existence of such a procedure would be a breakthrough in the computational complexity theory, showing that \(\mathbf {NP} = \exists \mathbb R\). This would imply that a multitude of problems in computational geometry could be solved using SAT solvers [11, 24]. Unlike for \( bd _\alpha \), variable assignments in these problems may need to be irrational, even if all numbers in the input data are integer or rational.
