Checking for k-Anonymity Violation by Views

Summary: Formalizes k-anonymity disclosure over materialized views, including secret associations, rather than released base tables. Establishes general computational hardness, identifies polynomial subcases, and gives an efficient conservative violation checker. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
