You've got trust issues, we've got solutions: Differential Privacy
Vikram Waradpande, Sarthika Dhawan

As we are in an era of big data where large groups of information are assimilated and analyzed, for insights into human behavior, data privacy has become a hot topic. Since there is a lot of private information which once leaked can be misused, all data cannot be released for research. This talk aims to discuss Differential Privacy, a cutting-edge technique of cybersecurity that claims to preserve an individual’s privacy, how it is employed to minimize the risks with private data, its applications in various domains, and how Python eases the task of employing it in our models with PyDP.
