Abstract:

Airavat is a new system for large-scale, distributed computation on sensitive data. Airavat is based on the MapReduce framework and includes a novel integration of mandatory access control and differential privacy. It enables users without security or privacy expertise to carry out data-mining and data-analysis computations on sensitive data, while preventing information leakage beyond the data providers' policies.
