A Theoretical Comparison of Data Masking Techniques for Numerical Microdata
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this study, we perform a comprehensive theoretical evaluation of masking techniques for numerical microdata. The objective of this comparison is to establish the extent to which existing techniques can satisfy disclosure risk, data utility, ease of implementation, and ease of use requirements. This evaluation allows data providers to select from these techniques to account for the demands of the data subjects and data users.

A polynomial-time approximation to optimal multivariate microaggregation
Microaggregation is a family of methods for statistical disclosure control (SDC) of microdata (records on individuals and/or companies), that is, for masking microdata so that they can be released without disclosing private information on the underlying individuals. Microaggregation techniques are currently being used by many statistical agencies. The principle of microaggregation is to group o...
متن کاملAn Investigation of Model-Based Microdata Masking for Magnitude Tabular Data Release
Traditionally, magnitude tabular data and microdata masking have been treated as two independent problems. An increasing number of government agencies are exploring establishing remote data access centers where both types of data release may occur. We argue that in these cases, consistency across both types of data release becomes an important component in the assessment of the performance of a...
متن کاملMultiplicative noise for masking numerical microdata with constraints
Before releasing databases which contain sensitive information about individuals, statistical agencies have to apply Statistical Disclosure Limitation (SDL) methods to such data. The goal of these methods is to minimize the risk of disclosure of the confidential information and at the same time provide legitimate data users with accurate information about the population of interest. SDL methods...
متن کاملMicrodata Protection
Governmental, public, and private organizations are more and more frequently required to make data available for external release in a selective and secure fashion. Most data are today released in the form of microdata, reporting information on individual respondents. The protection of microdata against improper disclosure is therefore an issue that has become increasingly important and will co...
متن کاملA multiplicative masking method for preserving the skewness of the original micro-records
Masking methods for the safe dissemination of microdata consist of distorting the original data while preserving a pre-defined set of statistical properties in the microdata. For continuous variables, available methodologies rely essentially on matrix masking and in particular on adding noise to the original values, using more or less refined procedures depending on the extent of information th...
