Privacy via Pseudorandom Sketches

Summary: Per-user pseudorandom sketches yield information-theoretic privacy against unbounded adversaries with arbitrary priors. Tiny O(log log M)-bit sketches aggregate to estimate conjunction frequencies (including negations) with error independent of attribute count and depending only on user count; they compose for complex queries.
