A Measure of Disclosure Risk for Tables of Counts
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper describes a new method for assessing disclosure risk for tables of counts; the subtraction-attribution probability (SAP) method. The SAP score is the probability of an intruder recovering a 'risky' subpopulation table given a quantity of information about the individuals in a population table. The method can be applied to exact or perturbed individual tables and sets of tables. The method can also be used to compare the risk impact of different disclosure control regimes.

Measuring Disclosure Risk and Information Loss in Population Based Frequency Tables
Frequency tables disseminated by statistical agencies have always been of high interest. However, the agencies have to ensure that the risk of identifying individuals and disclosing individuals’ attributes from the released data is low. Therefore they assess the risk of disclosure and apply statistical disclosure control (SDC) methods if necessary. The main objective of this work is to measure ...
متن کاملA posteriori Disclosure Risk Measure for Tabular Data Based on Conditional Entropy∗
Statistical database protection, also known as Statistical Disclosure Control (SDC), is a part of information security which tries to prevent published statistical information (tables, individual records) from disclosing the contribution of specific respondents. This paper deals with the assessment of the disclosure risk associated to the release of tabular data. So-called sensitivity rules are...
متن کاملStatistical Disclosure Control Methods for Census Frequency Tables
This paper provides a review of common statistical disclosure control (SDC) methods implemented at Statistical Agencies for standard tabular outputs containing whole population counts from a Census (either enumerated or based on a register). These methods include record swapping on the microdata prior to its tabulation and rounding of entries in the tables after they are produced. The approach ...
متن کاملInformation-Theoretic Disclosure Risk Measures in Statistical Disclosure Control of Tabular Data
Statistical database protection is a part of information security which tries to prevent published statistical information (tables, individual records) from disclosing the contribution of specific respondents. This paper shows how to use information-theoretic concepts to measure disclosure risk for tabular data. The proposed disclosure risk measure is compatible with a broad class of disclosure...
متن کاملA Data Disclosure Policy for Count Data Based on the COM-Poisson Distribution
C ount data arise in various organizational settings. When the release of such data is sensitive, organizations need information-disclosure policies that protect data confidentiality while still providing data access. In contrast to extant disclosure policies, we describe a new policy for count tables that is based on disclosing only the sufficient statistics of a flexible discrete distribution...
