Towards General-purpose Infrastructure for Protecting Scientific Data Under Study
Andrew Trask, Kritika Prakash
The scientific method presents a key challenge to privacy because it requires many samples to support a claim. When samples are commercially valuable or privacy-sensitive enough, their owners have strong reasons to avoid releasing them for scientific study. Privacy techniques seek to mitigate this tension by enforcing limits on one's ability to use studied samples for secondary purposes. Recent work has begun combining these techniques into end-to-end systems for protecting data. In this work, we assemble the first such combination which is sufficient for a privacy-layman to use familiar tools to experiment over private data while the infrastructure automatically prohibits privacy leakage. We support this theoretical system with a prototype within the Syft privacy platform using the PyTorch framework.
