Privacy-Preserving Fog Aggregation of Smart Grid Data Using Dynamic Differentially-Private Data Perturbation حسب Fawaz Kserawi (16904859)

"…We describe our differentially-private model with flexible constraints and a dynamic window algorithm to maintain the privacy-budget loss in infinitely generated time-series data. Our experimental results show a possible decrease in data perturbation error by 51.7% and 61.2% for smart meters and fog-computing data aggregators perturbed data, respectively, compared to the commonly used Gaussian mechanism.…"

Insights on the effect of water content in carburizing gas mixtures on the metal dusting corrosion of iron حسب El Tayeb Bentria (9904024)
