Statistical disclosure control: To trust or not to trust

Abstract

<p>The statistical analysis of data stored in data warehouses is an important phase in the organisation's strategic planning process. For the maximum benefit to be gained from such data warehouses, a relationship of trust needs to exist between all parties involved. In this paper we investigate its importance with respect to the statistical security problem. Understanding trust relationships in this context is particularly crucial since an individual's privacy cannot be guaranteed using traditional security mechanisms.</p>
