Measuring privacy loss in statistical databases
Protection of privacy in databases has become of increasing importance. While a number of techniques have been proposed to query databases while preserving privacy of individual records in the database, very little is done to define a measure on how much privacy is lost after statistical releases. We suggest a definition based on information theory. Intuitively, the privacy loss is proportional...
متن کاملInformation Protection in Dynamic Statistical Databases
A statistical database (SDB) is a database that contains sensitive records describing individuals but only statistical information is available. There are many inference control methods proposed to protect SDBs. In this article, we will briefly introduce three general approaches: conception, perturbation, and query restriction approaches. In addition, six criteria are also introduced to evaluat...
متن کاملRestructuring Partitioned Normal Form Relations without Information Loss
Nested relations in partitioned normal form (PNF) are an important subclass of nested relations that are useful in many applications. In this paper we address the question of determining when every PNF relation stored under one nested relation scheme can be transformed into another PNF relation stored under a different nested relation scheme without loss of information, referred to as the two s...
متن کاملComparison of Bibliographic Databases in Retrieving Information on Telemedicine
Background & Aims: Some of the main questions which can be of importance for those researchers who intend to perform a systematic review in a field of science are: ‘What databases should I use for my review?’; ‘Do all these databases have the same value?’; and ‘Which sourcesretrieved the highest of relevant references?’. The main aim of this work was the identification of the best database for ...
متن کاملApplied Quantitative Information Flow and Statistical Databases
We firstly describe an algebraic structure which serves as solid basis to quantitatively reason about information flows. We demonstrate how programs in form of partition of states fit into that theoretical framework. The paper presents a new method and implementation to automatically calculate such partitions, and compares it to existing approaches. As a novel application, we describe a way to ...
