Data confidentiality: A review of methods for statistical disclosure limitation and methods for assessing privacy

  [CiTO]

Abstract

There is an ever increasing demand from researchers for access to useful microdata files. However, there are also growing concerns regarding the privacy of the individuals contained in the microdata. Ideally, microdata could be released in such a way that a balance between usefulness of the data and privacy is struck. This paper presents a review of proposed methods of statistical disclosure control and techniques for assessing the privacy of such methods under different definitions of disclosure. ...

Preserving privacy in gps traces via uncertainty-aware path cloaking

  [CiTO]
In Proceedings of the 14th ACM conference on Computer and communications security (2007), pp. 161-171, doi:10.1145/1315245.1315266

Abstract

Motivated by a probe-vehicle based automotive traffic monitoring system, this paper considers the problem of guaranteed anonymity in a dataset of location traces while maintaining high data accuracy. We find through analysis of a set of GPS traces from 233 vehicles that known privacy algorithms cannot meet accuracy requirements or fail to provide privacy guarantees for drivers in low-density areas. To overcome these challenges, we develop a novel time-to-confusion criterion to characterize privacy in a location dataset and propose an uncertainty-aware ...

Abstract

Background  Published studies of geocoding accuracy often focus on a single geographic area, address source or vendor, do not adjust accuracy measures for address characteristics, and do not examine effects of inaccuracy on exposure measures. We addressed these issues in a Women's Health Initiative ancillary study, the Environmental Epidemiology of Arrhythmogenesis in WHI. Results  Addresses in 49 U.S. states (n = 3,615) with established coordinates were geocoded by four vendors (A-D). There were important differences among vendors in address ...

 

Privacy, Confidentiality, and Electronic Medical Records

  [CiTO]
Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association, Vol. 3, No. 2. (1 March 1996), pp. 139-148, doi:10.1136/jamia.1996.96236282

Abstract

The enhanced availability of health information in an electronic format is strategic for industry-wide efforts to improve the quality and reduce the cost of health care, yet it brings a concomitant concern of greater risk for loss of privacy among health care participants. The authors review the conflicting goals of accessibility and security for electronic medical records and discuss nontechnical and technical aspects that constitute a reasonable security solution. It is argued that with guiding policy and current technology, an electronic ...

 

Spatial confidentiality and GIS: re-engineering mortality locations from published maps about Hurricane Katrina

  [CiTO]
International Journal of Health Geographics, Vol. 5, No. 1. (10 October 2006), 44, doi:10.1186/1476-072x-5-44

Abstract

BACKGROUND:Geographic Information Systems (GIS) can provide valuable insight into patterns of human activity. Online spatial display applications, such as Google Earth, can democratise this information by disseminating it to the general public. Although this is a generally positive advance for society, there is a legitimate concern involving the disclosure of confidential information through spatial display. Although guidelines exist for aggregated data, little has been written concerning the display of point level information. The concern is that a map containing points representing ...

 

Musings on privacy issues in health research involving disaggregate geographic data about individuals

Abstract

This paper offers a state-of-the-art overview of the intertwined privacy, confidentiality, and security issues that are commonly encountered in health research involving disaggregate geographic data about individuals. Key definitions are provided, along with some examples of actual and potential security and confidentiality breaches and related incidents that captured mainstream media and public interest in recent months and years. The paper then goes on to present a brief survey of the research literature on location privacy/confidentiality concerns and on privacy-preserving solutions in ...
