  • 通过子图投影将问题转化为加权正交范围计数,降低敏感度。
  • 在任意维度下误差下界为指数级,算法逼近理论极限。
  • 适用于需要隐私保护的复杂网络分析,如医疗或社交数据挖掘。

子图计数是图分析中的基础问题。针对实际场景中需在特定顶点子集诱导的子图上进行分析且日益增长的隐私需求,我们首次提出差分隐私范围子图计数(DPRSC)问题:在由多维属性范围定义的诱导子图中,私密统计固定模式子图的出现次数。与传统的点计数不同,子图计数具有内在非线性及高敏感性——单条边修改可能影响多个子图实例。本文提出首个高效算法,在添加误差较小的情况下解决DPRSC。方法引入子图投影,将问题转化为加权正交范围计数,从而利用范围树和局部敏感度估计实现精准私密查询响应。同时,我们通过将重构攻击归约为DPRSC并结合分歧理论,建立了匹配下界:任何差分隐私算法在维度上升时必须承受指数级的额外误差。实验表明,所提算法在准确率和运行时间上显著优于基线方法,同时保持强隐私保障。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Subgraph counting is a fundamental problem in graph analysis. Motivated by practical scenarios where graph analytics are performed on subgraphs induced by selected vertices -- rather than on the entire graph -- and by growing privacy concerns, we initiate the study of differentially private range subgraph counting (DPRSC). The goal is to privately count occurrences of a fixed pattern graph within induced subgraphs defined by multi-dimensional attribute ranges. Unlike classical point counting, subgraph counting is inherently nonlinear and exhibits high sensitivity: a single edge modification can affect many subgraph occurrences. We present the first efficient algorithms for DPRSC with small additive error. Our approach introduces a subgraph projection that reduces DPRSC to weighted orthogonal range counting, enabling the use of range trees and local sensitivity estimation to achieve accurate private query answering. We complement our algorithms with matching lower bounds, obtained by reducing reconstruction attacks to DPRSC and leveraging discrepancy theory. In particular, we show that any differentially private algorithm for DPRSC must incur additive error exponential in the dimension. Empirical evaluations demonstrate that our algorithms significantly outperform baseline methods in accuracy and runtime while maintaining strong privacy guarantees.
