摘要:
The confidentiality-via-camouflage (CVC) procedure was recently proposed as an alternative to existing procedures such as data perturbation for protecting the confidentiality of numerical data. In this paper, we show that CVC, implemented with certain parameters, could potentially disclose confidential information. We identify the conditions under which such compromise will occur. We provide new derivations for the database administrator to select CVC parameters to avoid such disclosure. We also derive CVC parameters that allow the database administrator to evaluate the trade-off between disclosure risk and data utility, and we provide an expression to evaluate partial value disclosure risk of CVC. Thus, the results of this study should aid the database administrator in evaluating the applicability of CVC.
