Abstract

A method, information processing system, and computer readable medium are provided for preserving privacy of one-dimensional nonstationary data streams. The method includes receiving a one-dimensional nonstationary data stream. A set of first-moment statistical values are calculated, for a given instant of sub-space of time, for the data. The first moment statistical values include a principal component for the sub-space of time. The data is perturbed with noise along the principal component in proportion to the first-moment of statistical values so that at least part of a set of second-moment statistical values for the data is perturbed by the noise only within a predetermined variance.
