The Privacy Working Group has published the first draft of a Group Note titled Considerations for Reviewing Differential Privacy Systems (for Non-Differential Privacy Experts). The purpose of this document is to provide a high level understanding of the trade-offs that are required when designing and deploying differentially private systems (e.g., privacy, utility, number of trusted parties).
