Title:
Prio+: Privacy Preserving Aggregate Statistics via Boolean Shares
Authors: Surya Addanki, Kevin Garbe, Eli Jaffe, Rafail Ostrovsky, Antigoni Polychroniadou
Abstract:This paper introduces Prio+, a privacy-preserving system for the collection of aggregate statistics, with the same model and goals in mind as the original and highly influential Prio paper by Henry Corrigan-Gibbs and Dan Boneh (USENIX 2017). As in the original Prio, each client holds a private data value (e.g. number of visits to a particular website) and a small set of servers privately compute statistical functions over the set of client values (e.g. the average number of visits). To achieve security against faulty or malicious clients, Prio+ clients use Boolean secret-sharing instead of zero-knowledge proofs to convince servers that their data is of the correct form and Prio+ servers execute a share conversion protocols as needed in order to properly compute over client data. This allows us to ensure that clients’ data is properly formatted essentially for free, and the work shifts to novel share-conversion protocols between servers, where some care is needed to make it efficient. While our overall approach is a fairly simple observation in retrospect, it turns out that Prio+ strategy reduces the client’s computational burden by up to two orders of magnitude (or more depending on the statistic) while keeping servers costs comparable to Prio. Prio+ permits computation of exactly the same wide range of complex statistics as the original Prio protocol, including high-dimensional linear regression over private values held by clients. We report detailed benchmarks of our Prio+ implementation and compare these to both the original Go implementation of Prio and the Mozilla implementation of Prio. Our Prio+ software is open-source and released with the same license as Prio.
