We have developed this blog series leveraging the differential privacy contributions in the de-identification tools section. This series is designed to help business process owners and privacy program personnel understand basic concepts about differential privacy and applicable use cases and to help privacy engineers and IT professionals implement the tools. 

Note: Since the completion of this series, we have developed more in-depth guidelines on differential privacy, NIST Special Publication 800-226, *Guidelines for Evaluating Differential Privacy Guarantees***(Initial Public Draft)
