Aiming at the problem that the existing privacy protection histogram publishing methods based on grouping to suppress differential noise errors cannot effectively balance the group approximation error and the Differential Privacy (DP) Laplacian error, resulting in the lack of histogram availability, a High-Precision Histogram Publishing method (HPHP) was proposed. First, the constraint inference method was used to achieve the histogram ordering under the premise of satisfying the DP constraints. Then, based on the ordered histogram, the dynamic programming grouping method was used to generate groups with the smallest total error on the noise-added histogram. Finally, the Laplacian noise was added to each group mean. For the convenience of comparative analysis, the privacy protection histogram publishing method with the theoretical minimum error (Optimal) was proposed. Experimental analysis results between HPHP, DP method with noise added directly, AHP (Accurate Histogram Publication) method and Optimal show that the Kullback-Leibler Divergence (KLD) of the histogram published by HPHP is reduced by 90% compared to that of AHP method and is close to the effect of Optimal. In conclusion, under the same pre-conditions, HPHP can publish higher-precision histograms on the premise of ensuring DP.
