Anonymous statistical methods versus cryptographic methods in epidemiology
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sensitive data are most often indirectly identifiable and so need to be rendered anonymous in order to ensure privacy. Statistical methods to provide anonymity require data perturbation and so generate data processing difficulties. Encryption methods, while preserving confidentiality, do not require data modification.

متن کاملCollusion in a Multi-party Communication Protocol for Anonymous Credit Cards
We proposed in 8] a novel scheme to implement an anonymous credit card that protects privacy while providing the security, record-keeping and charging mechanism of conventional credit cards. The key idea is to use cryptographic techniques to allow two parties to communicate without knowing each other. In this paper, we present a formal method to study collusion in the multi-party communication ...
متن کاملRegression models for ordinal responses: a review of methods and applications.
BACKGROUND Epidemiologists are often interested in estimating the risk of several related diseases as well as adverse outcomes, which have a natural ordering of severity or certainty. While most investigators choose to model several dichotomous outcomes (such as very low birthweight versus normal and moderately low birthweight versus normal), this approach does not fully utilize the available i...
