contents We study the problem of differentially private (DP) mechanisms for representing sets of size $k$ from a large universe. Our first construction creates $(ε,δ)$-DP representations with error probability of $1/(e^ε+ 1)$ using space at most $1.05 k ε\cdot \log(e)$ bits where the time to construct a representation is $O(k \log(1/δ))$ while decoding time is $O(\log(1/δ))$. We also present a second algorithm for pure $ε$-DP representations with the same error using space at most $k ε\cdot \log(e)$ bits, but requiring large decoding times. Our algorithms match our lower bounds on privacy-utility trade-offs (including constants but ignoring $δ$ factors) and we also present a new space lower bound matching our constructions up to small constant factors. To obtain our results, we design a new approach embedding sets into random linear systems deviating from most prior approaches that inject noise into non-private solutions.
