Naive implementation of basic Differential-Privacy framework and algorithms

Differential-Privacy

This repo was developed as part on an effort to dive hands-on into DP. It presents a naive implementation of basic DP framework and algorithms, as described in:

Dwork, Cynthia, and Aaron Roth. "The algorithmic foundations of differential privacy." Foundations and Trends® in Theoretical Computer Science 9.3–4 (2014): 211-407.
