Recent work has shown the importance of considering the adversary’s background knowledge when reasoning about privacy in data publishing. However, it is very difficult
for the d...
Existing work on privacy-preserving data publishing cannot satisfactorily prevent an adversary with background knowledge from learning important sensitive information. The main cha...
The k-anonymity privacy requirement for publishing microdata requires that each equivalence class (i.e., a set of records that are indistinguishable from each other with respect to...
In applications like location-based services, sensor monitoring and biological databases, the values of the database items are inherently uncertain in nature. An important query fo...
