Differentially private triangle counting in graphs is essential for analyzing connection patterns and calculating clustering coefficients while protecting sensitive individual information. Previous works have relied on either central or local models to enforce differential privacy. However, a significant utility gap exists between the central and local models of differentially private triangle counting, depending on whether or not a trusted server is needed. In particular, the central model provides a high accuracy but necessitates a trusted server. The local model does not require a trusted server but suffers from limited accuracy. Our paper introduces a crypto-assisted differentially private triangle counting system, named CARGO, leveraging cryptographic building blocks to improve the effectiveness of differentially private triangle counting without assumption of trusted servers. It achieves high utility similar to the central model but without the need for a trusted server like the local model. CARGO consists of three main components. First, we introduce a similarity-based projection method that reduces the global sensitivity while preserving more triangles via triangle homogeneity. Second, we present a triangle counting scheme based on the additive secret sharing that securely and accurately computes the triangles while protecting sensitive information. Third, we design a distributed perturbation algorithm that perturbs the triangle count with minimal but sufficient noise. We also provide a comprehensive theoretical and empirical analysis of our proposed methods. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our CARGO significantly outperforms the local model in terms of utility and achieves high-utility triangle counting comparable to the central model.
