“Easter eggs” are features hidden inside software, and the practice of developers including them is a long-standing global phenomenon. They have seen some investigation in the context of games, but despite their prevalence in non-game software applications, their nature within this context is less clear.

In the dispersion problem for ordered intervals, the input is an ordered list of intervals on the real line, and the task is to select one point from each interval, such that the ordering of points along the line respects the given ordering of intervals and such that the points are “far apart” from each other.

We examine the problem of providing differential privacy for nearest neighbor queries. Very few mechanisms exist that achieve this, most notable geo-indistinguishability in the context of location privacy. However it uses an extended definition of differential privacy and restricts the sensitivity of queries.
