Abstract

This project will explore a novel direction to address the privacy/utility tradeoff of trace sharing: secure queries on original traces under their owner? s control. The data owner publishes a query language and an online portal, allowing researchers to submit sets of queries to be run on data. Only certain operations are allowed on certain data fields, and in specific contexts. This policy is specified by the provider and enforced by the language interpreter. The interpreter analyzes the queries, runs those that are permitted and returns the results to the researcher. The results consist of aggregate information such as counts, histograms, distributions and not of individual packets.
