Fine-Grained Data Poisoning Attack to Local Differential Privacy Protocols for Key-Value Data
摘要
With the spread of smart devices, companies improve their services by collecting and utilizing users’ behavioral data. However, the collected data from the user’s device can create issues concerning the identification of individuals, and hence privacy protection is required. Local Differential Privacy (LDP) is a technique that perturbs the user’s data before sending to the server so that the server is not able to have access to private data. Unfortunately, LDP is vulnerable to a poisoning attack in which a set of malicious users disrupt the estimated statistics by sending crafted data. In 2024, Li et al. showed that fine-grained manipulation of the estimated means is feasible. In this work, we study a new fine-grained attack to a multidimensional data with LDP known as Locally Differentially Private Correlated Key-Value (PCKV) for key-value data. We evaluate the proposed fine-grained PCKV attack from both theoretical and empirical viewpoints.
