报告摘要（ABSTRACT）：

The proliferation of electronic data has made leakage of private information an important issue. This talk will describe a fundamental framework for examining the tradeoff between the privacy of data and its measurable benefits (utility). This framework is based on an information theoretic formulation of privacy that transcends particular system implementations to characterize the limits on privacy imposed in return for a given level of utility, or vice versa. Applications in several fields, including databases, biometric security systems and smart grid, will be discussed.
