Anonymization of graph-based data is a problem which has been widely studied over the last years and several anonymization methods have been developed. Information loss measures have been used to evaluate data utility and information loss…
An anonymization technique for databases is proposed that employs Principal Component Analysis. The technique aims at releasing the least possible amount of information, while preserving the utility of the data released in response to…
Most statistical agencies release randomly selected samples of Census microdata, usually with sample fractions under 10% and with other forms of statistical disclosure control (SDC) applied. An alternative to SDC is data synthesis, which…
Cybersecurity risk management consists of several steps including the selection of appropriate controls to minimize risks. This is a difficult task that requires to search through all possible subsets of a set of available controls and…
Visualisation is an effective way to facilitate the analysis and understanding of multivariate data. In the context of multi-objective optimisation, comparing to quantitative performance metrics, visualisation is, in principle, able to…
Publishing histograms with $\epsilon$-differential privacy has been studied extensively in the literature. Existing schemes aim at maximizing the utility of the published data, while previous experimental evaluations analyze the…
A tremendous amount of individual-level data is generated each day, of use to marketing, decision makers, and machine learning applications. This data often contain private and sensitive information about individuals, which can be disclosed…
Until recently, multiple synthetic data sets were always released to analysts, to allow valid inferences to be obtained. However, under certain conditions - including when saturated count models are used to synthesize categorical data -…
To prove that a dataset is sufficiently anonymized, many privacy policies suggest that a re-identification risk assessment be performed, but do not provide a precise methodology for doing so, leaving the industry alone with the problem.…
Relations between categorical variables can be analyzed conveniently by multiple correspondence analysis (MCA). %It is well suited to discover relations that may exist between categories of different variables. The graphical representation…
Recently, the permutation paradigm has been proposed in data anonymization to describe any micro data masking method as permutation, paving the way for performing meaningful analytical comparisons of methods, something that is difficult…
Differential privacy is a mathematical framework for privacy-preserving data analysis. Changing the hyperparameters of a differentially private algorithm allows one to trade off privacy and utility in a principled way. Quantifying this…
Biometric data contains distinctive human traits such as facial features or gait patterns. The use of biometric data permits an individuation so exact that the data is utilized effectively in identification and authentication systems. But…
Machine learning models require datasets for effective training, but directly sharing raw data poses significant privacy risk such as membership inference attacks (MIA). To mitigate the risk, privacy-preserving techniques such as data…
With the rise of the open data movement a lot of statistical data has been made publicly available by governments, statistical offices and other organizations. First efforts to visualize are made by the data providers themselves. Data…
Government statistical agencies often apply statistical disclosure limitation techniques to survey microdata to protect the confidentiality of respondents. There is a need for valid and practical ways to assess the protection provided. This…
Risk assessment plays a crucial role in ensuring the security and resilience of modern computer systems. Existing methods for conducting risk assessments often suffer from tedious and time-consuming processes, making it challenging to…
With the continuous increase in the computational power and resources of modern high-performance computing (HPC) systems, large-scale ensemble simulations have become widely used in various fields of science and engineering, and especially…
Visualizations of tabular data are widely used; understanding their effectiveness in different task and data contexts is fundamental to scaling their impact. However, little is known about how basic tabular data visualizations perform…
This paper proposes and compares measures of identity and attribute disclosure risk for synthetic data. Data custodians can use the methods proposed here to inform the decision as to whether to release synthetic versions of confidential…
