This book presents a comprehensive approach to protecting sensitive information when large data
collections are released by their owners. It addresses three key requirements of data privacy:
the protection of data explicitly released the protection of information not explicitly
released but potentially vulnerable due to a release of other data and the enforcement of
owner-defined access restrictions to the released data. It is also the first book with a
complete examination of how to enforce dynamic read and write access authorizations on released
data applicable to the emerging data outsourcing and cloud computing situations. Private
companies public organizations and final users are releasing sharing and disseminating their
data to take reciprocal advantage of the great benefits of making their data available to
others. This book weighs these benefits against the potential privacy risks. A detailed
analysis of recent techniques for privacy protection in data release and case studies
illustrate crucial scenarios. Protecting Privacy in Data Release targets researchers
professionals and government employees working in security and privacy. Advanced-level students
in computer science and electrical engineering will also find this book useful as a secondary
text or reference.
