Abstract

Database privacy can be conceptually described in terms of three dimensions, each of which refers to the privacy of a different subject and is pursued by a different discipline: respondent privacy, addressed by statistical disclosure control (SDC), owner privacy, addressed by privacy-preserving data mining (PPDM), and user privacy, pursued by private information retrieval (PIR). This special issue contains papers reporting recent advances in each of those three dimensions.
