The Power of the Dinur-Nissim Algorithm: Breaking Privacy of Statistical and Graph Databases
Summary: Extends Dinur–Nissim: phi-weighted random-query attacks (iid φ with finite third moment) can reconstruct Ω(n) entries over much larger domains, preserving the quadratic perturbation–reconstruction tradeoff with stronger guarantees for Gaussian/Poisson/bounded φ. Also gives a matching upper bound for bit databases and extends the attack to recover many graph edges from subgraph statistics, delineating limits and new application domains.
