A statistical database (SDB) publishes statistical queries (such as sum, average, count, etc) on subsets of records, and the data in individual records should be remained secret. The key representation auditing scheme is proposed to guarantee the security of online and dynamic SDBs. The core idea is to convert the original database into key representation database (KRDB), also this scheme involves...
A statistical databases (SDBs) are used mainly for statistical queries (such as sum, average, count, etc) on various populations. Users are permitted to retrieve statistical information, but information about specific individual should not be disclosed. The key representation auditing scheme is proposed to protect online and dynamic SDBs from being disclosed. The core idea is to convert the original...
