Welcome to our first
differential privacy
newsletter.
The DP Newsletter is intended to interact and provide more information for users of the open source DP libraries, Privacy on Beam, and DP Accounting. As part of this, we are sharing our preliminary quarterly roadmap. We hope this opens the discussion about what features will be used outside of Google and how you would prioritize them for your DP projects.
We also look forward to hearing from our users, about interesting feature requests and what use cases you are working on. Feel free to reach out and be part of the discussion, either on our new public mailing list at dp-open-so...@googlegroups.com or privately to our team at dp-open...@google.com.

Preliminary Q1 2021 Roadmap
We’re sharing our quarterly roadmap for our DP libraries, Privacy on Beam, and DP Accounting. We can’t promise that this is exactly what we’ll end up doing, but we wanted to give library users a sense for what’s coming and a chance to weigh in.
|

Quantiles
We’re working on a new quantiles implementation for all three languages of the DP library that will be simpler than our current version, will scale to arbitrarily large datasets, and will allow querying multiple quantiles with no additional privacy loss budget expenditure. We also plan to implement quantiles in Privacy on Beam.
|
|
Approximate Bounds
We want to refactor approximate bounds as the current implementation leads to a lot of code duplication. This will be first implemented in C++ and might follow soon as well for Go and Java.
|
|
|
DP Accounting
We’re expanding our library by open-sourcing a (faster) C++ version of the accounting library.
|
|
|
Looking forward
We are exploring new Open Sourcing efforts. Having a Java version for Privacy on Beam is something we’re looking into. Do you have use-cases for this? Email us! This will help us assess demand.
Have a great start of 2021!
Yours in differential privacy,
Anonymization team at Google
