Abstract

A privacy auditing framework for Hippocratic databases accepts an administrator formulated audit expression and returns all suspicious user queries that satisfy the given constraints in that audit expression. Such an expression should be expressive, precise, unambiguous and flexible to describe various characteristics of a privacy violation such as target data (sensitive data subject to disclosure review), suspicion notion, authorized privacy policy parameters through which the violation is possible, and time duration of the privacy violation. Earlier proposed audit expression models for the auditing are not flexible and do not specify suspicion notion with in the audit expression for the auditing of past user accesses. We propose a unified model for an audit expression which can specify earlier proposed audit expressions along with different suspicion notions. The model includes (i) a suspicion notion model which unifies earlier proposed suspicion notions, and (ii) mechanisms to specify data versions.
