Abstract

Considered in this paper are numeric databases, whose instances are vectors in \({\cal R}^n\), queries involve their linear transformations, and imprecise query answers are intervals. Introduced for the first time is a security requirement function ρ for a query, to specify the maximum probability ρ(l) that the precise query answer is within any interval of size l. Developed are random disclosure algorithms that satisfy security requirement functions, and guarantee, under certain conditions, maximum data availability.
