In Central Differential Privacy (CDP), there is a trusted analyst who collects the data from users and publishes the datasets/statistics after the procedure of random perturbation. However, in this paradigm, the submitted users' raw data is completely revealed to the analyst. In Local Differential Privacy (LDP), each user locally perturbs the data before submitting it to the data collector. Users no longer need to fully trust the analyst. Nevertheless, the LDP paradigm suffers from a strong constraint on the utility of statistical functions. To tackle the conflicts, recent works propose the shuffle model to enhance the utility of LDP mechanism. A new participant, i.e., shuffler, is introduced between users and the analyst to produce the privacy amplification. In this paper, we propose DUMP (DUMmy-Point-based), a framework for privacy-preserving histogram estimation in shuffle model. DUMP can summarize all existing histogram estimation protocols in shuffle model. We introduce dummy blanket intuition to analyze the advantage of dummy points in improving utility. Then we design two protocols: pureDUMP and mixDUMP under DUMP framework, which achieve better trade-offs between privacy, accuracy, and communication than existing protocols. We also prove that dummy points have privacy amplification locally, which can achieve enhanced privacy protection on the shuffler. Besides, existing related studies lacks experimental evaluation that results are still in the theoretical stage. We conduct a comprehensive experimental evaluation to evaluate our proposed protocols and existing other protocols. Experimental results on both synthetic and real-world datasets show that our proposed protocols achieve better utility for both accuracy and communication under the same privacy guarantee than existing protocols.
