Privacy
This security thread follows privacy through original research, public projects, and source reports. Read the evidence below to see which developments are represented in SYMTRI’s archive.
SYMTRI organizes observations from public sources into a living map. Connections reflect shared subject matter; they do not establish causation or endorse a source.
Open in the map ↗108 classified signals in the fourteen-day window. These counts include signals awaiting readable evidence.
Recent sources
Up to ten sources with readable evidence, ordered by their feed timestamp. These archive sources can be older than the live fourteen-day window. This list is a sample, not a measure of total activity. Dates distinguish paper publication, repository creation, model/dataset activity, Hacker News posts, and KEV catalog additions. “First archived” records when SYMTRI first stored the signal.

Subgraph Counting with Local Node Differential Privacy ↗
We study the problem of approximately counting subgraphs under local node differential privacy (LNDP), a recently introduced model that enforces strong privacy guarantees in analyses of distributed social networks. We design a noninteractive $(\varepsilon,0)$-LNDP algorithm that, given any public $k$-node template graph $H$, counts occurrences of $H$ in a sensitive undirected $n$-node graph with additive error $O(n^{k-\frac{1}{2}}/\varepsilon^{k-1})$, for any constant $k$. We complement this algorithm with a lower bound showing that every noninteractive $(\varepsilon,δ)$-LNDP algorithm for cou…

Federated Art Chase: Privacy Leakage and Data Poisoning in Federated Fine-Tuning ↗
Federated learning (FL) is increasingly used to adapt a pretrained, centrally fine-tuned model to data that remain on user devices, beyond training a model from scratch. In this report, prepared for the 4th Federated Machine Learning International Summer School, we study the privacy and integrity of this approach with a reproducible pipeline. An ImageNet-pretrained MobileNetV4-Conv-Small model is fine-tuned centrally on ten Quick, Draw! classes (97.50% test accuracy) and then adapted with head-only FedAvg over ten non-IID clients, which raises client training accuracy from 90.34% to 91.49% whi…

How to assess evidence about Privacy
Check each original source for its methods, release status, limitations, and supporting data. A repository announcement, a preprint, and a published study provide different kinds of evidence. SYMTRI’s subject classification helps discovery; it does not independently validate the source’s claims.
