We examine the information-theoretic foundations of the increasingly popular notion of
differential privacy
. We establish a connection between differential private mechanisms and the
rate-distortion
framework. Additionally, we also show how differentially private distributions arise out of the application of the
Maximum Entropy Principle.
This helps us locate differential privacy within the wider framework of information-theory and helps formalize some intuitive aspects of our understanding of differential privacy.
