| contents | Privacy Preserving Synthetic Data Generation (PP-SDG) has emerged to produce synthetic datasets from personal data while maintaining privacy and utility. Differential privacy (DP) is the property of a PP-SDG mechanism that establishes how protected individuals are when sharing their sensitive data. It is however difficult to interpret the privacy budget ($\varepsilon$) expressed by DP. To make the actual risk associated with the privacy budget more transparent, multiple privacy metrics (PMs) have been proposed to assess the privacy risk of the data. These PMs are utilized in separate studies to assess newly introduced PP-SDG mechanisms. Consequently, these PMs embody the same assumptions as the PP-SDG mechanism they were made to assess. Therefore, a thorough definition of how these are calculated is necessary. In this work, we present the assumptions and mathematical formulations of 17 distinct privacy metrics. |
