Our team welcomes the shift toward privacy-by-design and we hope to see more businesses embrace privacy-enhancing technologies to protect what matters most.

💡 While DP has known drawbacks, it can be a viable option for many use cases, and we’re pleased to see progress on this front.

Blind Insight takes the guidelines to an even more evolved position with our vision for encryption-in-use, where real-time analytics and robust privacy coexist.

❌ Expensive computational costs: In applications like recommendation systems, adding noise may lead to suboptimal user experiences, as recommendations or insights might not be as relevant.

The key challenge is striking the right balance between PRIVACY and UTILITY.

❌ Complexity of implementation: Implementing differential privacy correctly requires deep expertise in data privacy and security. Mistakes in implementation can lead to either over-protection (useless data) or under-protection (privacy leaks).

❌ Accuracy vs. Privacy trade-off: Adding “noise” to data to ensure privacy reduces the accuracy of results. The stronger the privacy guarantee (lower ε value), the more noise is required, which can degrade the usefulness of the data for analytics and machine learning.

✅ Strong theoretical guarantees: DP uses mathematically rigorous frameworks to protect individual data points in large datasets.

✅ Regulatory and Compliance alignment: DP aligns well with emerging data protection laws and privacy-by-design principles.

✅ Minimal exposure: “Noise” injection masks personal details while still allowing for generalized insights.

Differential privacy (DP) is a powerful framework for preserving user privacy in data analysis, but it comes with several trade-offs and downsides.

Now that the NIST guidelines have been released, let’s dig into some of the PROs ✅ and CONs ❌ of differential privacy (🧵):
