Abstract
Privately learning statistics of events on devices can enable improved user experience. Differentially private algorithms for such problems can benefit significantly from interactivity. We argue that an aggregation protocol can enable an interactive private federated statistics system where user's devices maintain control of the privacy assurance. We describe the architecture of such a system, and analyze its security properties.
