Blog posts on the mathematics of privacy

Privacy is mathematical. The tools for anticipating, detecting, and mitigating privacy loss are all mathematical. Logic, probability, statistics, information theory, cryptography … It’s all math.

Some blog posts on mathematics and privacy:

• Randomized response and Bayes’ theorem
• Big aggregate queries can still violate privacy 
• Quantifying privacy loss
• Adding Laplacian or Gaussian noise to a database
• Differential privacy
