Is the way you move as unique as
your fingerprint

We can use points to identify a fingerprint

How many points do I need to uniquely identify a
mobility traces?

It is getting harder and harder to “gain” privacy

It’s hard to hide in the crowd
![Page 32: How our behavior makes us unique - Home | arpa-e.energy.gov](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012500/6178e11406bdfa57330a8146/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Unicity: quantifying the privacy-utility trade-off
Simple anonymization does not work even when the data is coarse
Smarter anonymization
• Application specific
• Assume that we anonymize and release the data once and for all
Online systems
• Access to individual mobility data is a “side effect”
• Answers are what we’re interested in
![Page 33: How our behavior makes us unique - Home | arpa-e.energy.gov](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012500/6178e11406bdfa57330a8146/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Online systems: from privacy to security using openPDS
- Only shares answers, not raw data - Individual quantification of the risks
