Using privacy budgets

The diffprivlib package includes statistical functions to explore data, such as the case of mean(). It computes the private average of array elements. Use the functions from the tools module of diffprivlib.

Here, you will use a privacy budget accountant acc to track privacy loss when computing the private mean on the array ages from the Heart Failure Prediction dataset.

The tools module from diffprivlib and the BudgetAccountant class have already been loaded.

Get ready to apply anonymization techniques such as data suppression, masking, synthetic data generation, and generalization. In this chapter, you’ll learn how to distinguish between sensitive and non-sensitive personally identifiable information (PII), quasi-identifiers, and the basics of the GDPR. You'll also encounter real-life examples of what can go wrong if you don't follow these best practices.

Exercise 1: What's private, and why do we care?Exercise 2: Privacy is power Exercise 3: Is it sensitive or non-sensitive?Exercise 4: Suppression of sensitive attributes Exercise 5: Data masking and data generation with Faker Exercise 6: Masking sensitive PII Exercise 7: Removing names with faker Exercise 8: Anonymizing with data generalization Exercise 9: Reducing identification risk with generalization Exercise 10: Data aggregation and data generalization Exercise 11: Top and bottom coding White House salaries

Discover how to anonymize data by sampling from datasets following the probability distribution of the columns. You’ll then learn how to apply the k-anonymity privacy model to prevent linkage or re-identification attacks and use hierarchies to perform data generalization in categorical variables.

Learn about differential privacy, the model used by major technology companies such as Apple, Google, and Uber. In this chapter, you’ll explore data by generating private histograms and computing private averages in data. You’ll also create differentially private machine learning models that allow businesses to increase the utility of their data.

In this final chapter, you’ll learn how to apply dimensionality reduction methods such as principal component analysis (PCA) to anonymize large multi-column datasets. You’ll then use Faker to generate realistic and consistent datasets, and scikit-learn to create synthetic datasets that follow a normal distribution. Lastly, you’ll tie everything you learned in this course together as you combine multiple techniques to safely release datasets to the public.
