A study on the protection of statistical data bases

Summary: Study evaluating protection schemes for statistical databases - security effectiveness, feasibility, and ease of implementation. Proposes a new method with two implementations: one guarantees perfect protection against leakage of individuals' data; the other is lightweight but permits a small leakage probability.
