Plugins#
Because Differential Privacy is a wide and expanding field, we can’t implement every mechanism for every user, but users can provide their own code through these methods:
- Measurements
- Transformations
- Domains
- Metrics
- Measures
- Postprocessors
- Privacy Profiles
OpenDP itself uses the plugin machinery in some cases. It is usually easier to prototype ideas in Python than in Rust, so this provides a lower barrier to entry to contributing to OpenDP. If the contribution proves to be useful to the broader community, it can then be translated to Rust.
