Welcome to Hangzhou

Social Networks and Big Data have pervaded all aspects of our daily lives. With their unparalleled popularity, social networks have evolved from the platforms for social communication and news dissemination, to indispensable tools for professional networking, social recommendations, marketing, and online content distribution. Social Networks, together with other activities, produce Big Data that beyond the ability of commonly used computer software and hardware tools to capture, manage, and process within a tolerable elapsed time.

Due to their scale, complexity and heterogeneity, a number of technical and social challenges in Social Networks and Big Data must be addressed. It has been widely recognized that security and privacy are the critical issues. On one hand, Social Networks and Big Data have been the effective platform for the attackers to launch attacks and distribute malicious information. On the other hand, privacy leakage through Social Networks and Big Data has become common exercise. The aim of SocialSec 2015 is to provide a leading edge forum to foster interactions between researchers and developers with the security and privacy communities in Social Networks and Big Data, and to give attendees an opportunity to interact with experts in academia, industry, and governments.

Abstract

Differential privacy is one of the most prevalent privacy models in privacy preserving research area. As a rigorous and provable privacy model, differential privacy helps to construct diverse privacy preserving frameworks. However, previous work has mainly focused on independent datasets that assumes all records were sampled from a universe independently. A real-world dataset often exhibits strong coupling relations: some records are often correlated with each other, and this may disclose extra information than expected. We categorize these real-world data into static coupled dataset and dynamic coupled dataset. The former dataset will not change during the privacy preserving process and the latter dataset will continual changed in period. In the tutorial, we will provide an overview of the differential privacy and explore the application of differential privacy techniques in both static coupled and dynamic coupled dataset.

This tutorial is divided into two part. The first part will review the scope of differential privacy, including differential privacy data release and differential privacy data analysis. The second part will discuss the application of differential privacy techniques in coupled environment, which contains static coupled dataset and dynamic coupled stream. We will show that coupled differential privacy creates new opportunities, directions and means for privacy preserving in real world scenarios. This tutorial is for those interested in gaining a better understanding of the privacy preserving and beginning to apply differential privacy in real world applications.
