Abstract: In this paper, we present an optimization-based formulation for privacy-utility tradeoff in the Ensemble and Unscented Kalman filtering framework, with a focus on space situational awareness. Privacy and utility are defined in terms of a lower and an upper bound on the state estimation error covariance, respectively. Synthetic sensor noise is used to satisfy these bounds and is determined by solving an optimization problem. Given privacy and utility bounds, we present optimization problem formulations to determine a) the maximum noise for which utility is satisfied or the estimation errors are upper-bounded, b) the minimum noise for which privacy is satisfied or the estimation errors are lower-bounded, c) the optimal noise that satisfies utility constraints and maximizes privacy, and d) the optimal noise that satisfies privacy constraints and maximizes utility. We demonstrate application of these formulations to the tracking of the International Space Station, and highlight the optimal privacy vs utility tradeoff for this dynamical system.
