-Let us continue with the study of differential privacy from [Part 1 of this post](/posts/2019-03-13-a-tail-of-two-densities.html).
+This is Part 2 of a two-part blog post on differential privacy.
+Continuing from [Part 1](/posts/2019-03-13-a-tail-of-two-densities.html),
+I discuss the Rényi differential privacy, corresponding to
+the Rényi divergence, a study of the moment generating functions the
+divergence between probability measures to derive the tail bounds.
+
+Like in Part 1, I prove a composition theorem and a subsampling theorem.
+
+I also attempt to reproduce a seemingly better moment bound for the
+Gaussian mechanism with subsampling, with one intermediate step which I
+am not able to prove.
+
+After that I explain the Tensorflow implementation of differential privacy,
+which focuses on the differentially private stochastic gradient descent
+algorithm (DP-SGD).
+
+Finally I use the results from both Part 1 and Part 2 to obtain some privacy
+guarantees for composed subsampling queries in general, and for DP-SGD in particular.
+I also compare these privacy guarantees.
