Disclosure Risk Measures for Microdata

چکیده
In this paper, we define several disclosure risk measures for microdata. We will analyze disclosure risk based on the disclosure control techniques applied to initial microdata. Disclosure Control is the discipline concerned with the modification of data containing confidential information about individual entities, such as persons, households, businesses, etc. in order to prevent third parties working with these data from recognizing entities in the data and thereby disclosing information about these entities. In very broad terms, disclosure risk is the risk that a given form of disclosure will occur if a masked microdataset is released. Microdata represents a series of records, each record containing information on an individual unit. The disclosure risk measures presented in this paper are validated in our experiments.

متن کاملA Measure of Disclosure Risk for Microdata
Protection against disclosure is important for statistical agencies releasing microdata files from sample surveys. Estimates of simple measures of disclosure risk can provide useful evidence to support decisions about release. We propose a new measure of disclosure risk: the probability that a unique match between a microdata record and a population unit is correct. We argue that this measure h...
متن کاملA Quantitative Comparison of Disclosure Control Methods for Microdata
As described in Chapter 5, there is a plethora of statistical disclosure control (SDC) methods to protect microdata. This chapter provides guidance in choosing a particular SDC method by comparing some of the methods discussed in Chapter 5 on the basis of both information loss and disclosure risk. Information loss can be readily quantified using analytical measures (either generic or data-use-s...
