RAPPOR
======
RAPPOR is a novel privacy technology that allows inferring statistics about
populations while preserving the privacy of individual users.
This repository contains simulation and analysis code in Python and R.
For a detailed description of the algorithms, see the
[paper](http://arxiv.org/abs/1407.6981) and links below.

- [RAPPOR implementation in Chrome](http://www.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/rappor)
- This is a production quality C++ implementation, but it's somewhat tied to
Chrome, and doesn't support all privacy parameters (e.g. only a few values
of p and q). On the other hand, the code in this repo is not yet
production quality, but supports experimentation with different parameters
and data sets. Of course, anyone is free to implement RAPPOR independently
as well.
