A Rigorous and Customizable Framework for Privacy

Summary: Pufferfish: a rigorous, customizable privacy framework enabling domain experts to specify secrets, discriminative pairs, and data-generation constraints to derive application-specific privacy definitions. Subsumes and clarifies differential privacy's independence assumption, generalizes composition, protects unbounded continuous/aggregate attributes, and accounts for prior releases.
