A Genetic Approach to Statistical Disclosure Control

Statistical Disclosure Control: a genetic-based approach

Cell suppression is one of the most frequently used techniques to prevent the disclosure of sensitive data in statistical tables. Finding the minimum cost set of nonsensitive entries to suppress, along with the sensitive ones, in order to make a table safe for publication is a NP -hard problem denominated the Cell Suppression Problem (CSP ). Since statistical o¢ ces must publish safe tables rou...

Understanding Statistical Disclosure: A Least Squares Approach

It is widely accepted that Disclosure Attacks are effective against high-latency anonymous communication systems. A number of Disclosure Attack variants can be found in the literature that effectively de-anonymize traffic sent through a threshold mix. Nevertheless, these attacks’ performance has been mostly evaluated through simulation and how their effectiveness varies with the parameters of t...
