On Optimizing the Trade-off between Privacy and Utility in Data Provenance
Summary: Formalizes privacy-utility trade-off in data provenance via provenance abstraction; privacy = queries matching obfuscated provenance (k-anonymity style), utility = entropy of the abstraction. Shows intractability; proposes greedy heuristics exploiting provenance structure and validates on TPC-H/IMDB. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
