Incorrect Laplace noise formula in your documentation #1329

Closed TedTed closed 3 weeks ago

TedTed commented 3 weeks ago

From https://github.com/WICG/attribution-reporting-api/blob/main/AGGREGATE.md#differential-privacy:

noise distributed according to Laplace(epsilon / L1) should achieve epsilon differential privacy

You probably meant "Laplace(L1 / epsilon)" here. I assume the code is doing the right thing (this page is correct) but I haven't checked.

Thanks, yes this is a typo!
