Randomizing, A Practical Method for Protecting Statistical Databases Against Compromise
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper reports on a method for protecting statistical databases against inference, developed over the past four years. The method, called randomizing, is conceptually elegant, easy to implement at very small additional cost, and requires no on-going maintenance. It can be equally applied to small and medium-size as well as large databases, because it does not depend on sampling techniques in the conventional sense. Thus we feel that randomizing is an eminently practical and effective method if the protection of statistical data against inference is of concern.

A Method for Protecting Access Pattern in Outsourced Data
Protecting the information access pattern, which means preventing the disclosure of data and structural details of databases, is very important in working with data, especially in the cases of outsourced databases and databases with Internet access. The protection of the information access pattern indicates that mere data confidentiality is not sufficient and the privacy of queries and accesses...
متن کاملRelative Compromise of Statistical Databases
Statistical databases are databases in which only statistical type of queries are allowed. The results of the statistical queries are intended for statistical use only. However, it has been shown that using only statistical queries it is often possible to infer an individuals's value of a protected field (e.g, using various types of trackers). In such a case we say that the database has been (p...

Proposing a hierarchical group compromise method can be regarded as a one of major multi-attributes decision-making tool that can be introduced to rank the possible alternatives among conflict criteria. Decision makers’ (DMs’) judgments are considered as imprecise or fuzzy in complex and hesitant situations. In the group decision making, an aggregation of DMs’ judgments and fuzzy group compromi...
متن کاملOn the Difficulties of Disclosure Prevention in Statistical Databases or The Case for Differential Privacy
A privacy-preserving statistical database enables the data analyst to learn properties of the population as a whole, while protecting the privacy of the individuals whose data were used in creating the database. A rigorous treatment of privacy requires definitions: What constitutes a failure to preserve privacy? What is the power of the adversary whose goal it is to compromise privacy? What aux...
