Adversarially Robust Streaming Algorithms via Differential Privacy

Abstract

A streaming algorithm is said to be adversarially robust if its accuracy guarantees are maintained even when the data stream is chosen maliciously, by an adaptive adversary . We establish a connection between adversarial robustness of streaming algorithms and the notion of differential privacy . This connection allows us to design new adversarially robust streaming algorithms that outperform the current state-of-the-art constructions for many interesting regimes of parameters.
