A Selective Review of Confidentiality Research Published Since 1975

Written by:
RR85-03

Abstract

This technical report is a selective review of confidentiality research which has been published since 1975. Rather than being a highly polished and final product of my work in confidentiality, it is a "milestone marker" along the course of my own research. We offer it in the SRD technical report series for documentation of this continuing research as well as to provide a synopsis of pertinent research for the interested reader. This review is arranged in chronological order from the most recent publications to the oldest. Also, within each year reviews are arranged alphabetically by authors' last names. For macrodata, among the methodologies to limit disclosure risk in this reviewed literature are cell suppression and complimentary cell suppression, data perturbation. For microdata, among the methodologies for limiting disclosure risk in this review are: data perturbation, collapsing, data suppression, swapping, and randomized response. Also, some of the literature reviewed here considers how these methodologies effect the integrity of commonly used statistics computed from microdata and also to what extent these methodologies limit disclosure.
