Abstract

In recent years, differential privacy data publishing has received considerable attention. However, existing techniques on achieving differential privacy for answering range-count queries fail to release data with high quality. In this paper, we propose a new solution for answering range-count queries under the framework of ε-differential privacy, which aims to maintain high data utility while protecting individual privacy. The key idea of the proposed solution is to add noise on an average tree, in which each node value is the average value of all its leaf nodes. Experimental analysis is designed by comparing the proposed solution and the classic algorithms on the released data utility. The theoretical analysis and experimental results show that our solution is effective and feasible.
