Universally Optimal Privacy Mechanisms for Minimax Agents
Summary: Proves the geometric mechanism is universally optimal for all minimax (risk-averse) information consumers for any fixed count query, generalizing prior Bayesian-only optimality to a broader consumer class. Also yields collusion-resistant multi-level privacy releases when agents rationally combine mechanism output with side information. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
