This project investigates how privacy can be used to inform the design and management of future data sensing systems. Networked systems that collect data about individuals will play an increasingly important role in our lives, with applications including industrial monitoring and control, "smart" homes/cities, and personalized health care. These systems will gather private information about individuals, which creates many coupled engineering challenges. This work seeks to understand the interplay between two of these: managing the massive amounts of data that must be collected and protecting the privacy of individuals in the system. For applications or services that rely on populations of individuals, reducing the amount of information transmitted can save bandwith while enhancing privacy. The objectives of this work are to use ideas from data privacy technologies and wireless resource management techniques to jointly manage privacy and bandwidth in wireless sensing systems.The technical objectives of this project involve reformulating distributed data collection and estimation problems under privacy constraints in wireless network settings. Differential privacy gives a framework for quantifying the privacy risk of different strategies for compression and data reduction, leading to a privacy-bandwidth-quality tradeoff. At the system level, total privacy risk is a resource that can be managed; this project uses that insight to design novel privacy-allocation schemes. Ultimately, this project seeks to formulate new tradeoffs between privacy and quality-of-service that can generalize to other networking problems. To see how these approaches work in practice, this work involves prototyping and testing the methods in a wireless networking testbed.

该项目研究如何利用隐私来为未来数据传感系统的设计和管理提供信息。收集个人数据的网络系统将在我们的生活中发挥越来越重要的作用，其应用包括工业监控、“智能”家庭/城市和个性化医疗保健。这些系统将收集有关个人的私人信息，这会带来许多耦合的工程挑战。这项工作旨在了解其中两者之间的相互作用：管理必须收集的大量数据并保护系统中个人的隐私。对于依赖于个人群体的应用程序或服务，减少传输的信息量可以节省带宽，同时增强隐私性。这项工作的目标是利用数据隐私技术和无线资源管理技术的思想来共同管理无线传感系统中的隐私和带宽。该项目的技术目标包括重新制定无线网络设置中隐私约束下的分布式数据收集和估计问题。差异隐私提供了一个框架，用于量化不同压缩和数据缩减策略的隐私风险，从而实现隐私-带宽-质量的权衡。在系统层面，总体隐私风险是一种可以管理的资源；该项目利用这种洞察力来设计新颖的隐私分配方案。最终，该项目寻求在隐私和服务质量之间制定新的权衡，从而可以推广到其他网络问题。为了了解这些方法在实践中如何发挥作用，这项工作涉及在无线网络测试台中对这些方法进行原型设计和测试。
