In this paper, we investigate techniques to answer $$k$$-skyband queries with differential privacy. We first propose a general technique BBS-Priv, which accepts any differentially private spatial decomposition tree as input and leverages data synthesis to answer $$k$$-skyband queries privately. We then show that, though quite a few private spatial decomposition trees are proposed in the literature, they are mainly designed to answer spatial range queries. Directly integrating them with BBS-Priv would introduce too much noise to generate useful $$k$$-skyband results. To address this problem, we propose a novel spatial decomposition technique k-skyband tree specially optimized for k-skyband queries, which partitions data adaptively based on the parameter k. We further propose techniques to generate a k-skyband tree over spatial data that satisfies differential privacy, and combine BBS-Priv with the private k-skyband tree to answer $$k$$-skyband queries. We conduct extensive experiments based on two real-world datasets and three synthetic datasets that are commonly used for evaluating $$k$$-skyband queries. The results show that the proposed scheme significantly outperforms existing differentially private spatial decomposition schemes and achieves high utility when privacy budgets are properly allocated. %G English %Z TC 11 %Z WG 11.3 %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01684359/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01684359/file/453481_1_En_8_Chapter.pdf %L hal-01684359 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-01684359 %~ IFIP-LNCS %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-TC %~ IFIP-WG %~ IFIP-TC11 %~ IFIP-WG11-3 %~ IFIP-DBSEC %~ IFIP-LNCS-10359
