Preview abstract
The Privacy Sandbox initiative from Google includes APIs for enabling privacy-preserving advertising functionalities as part of the effort to limit third-party cookies. In particular, the Private Aggregation API (PAA) and the Attribution Reporting API (ARA) can be used for ad measurement while providing different guardrails for safeguarding user privacy, including a framework for satisfying differential privacy (DP). In this work, we provide an abstract model for analyzing the privacy of these APIs and show that they satisfy a formal DP guarantee under certain assumptions. Our analysis handles the case where both the queries and database can change interactively based on previous responses from the API.
