“…To control inference from aggregate statistics, many mechanisms have been proposes. They include auditing queries, e.g., Chin and Özsoyoglu (1982), Chowdhury et al (1999), query restrictions, e.g., Friedman and Hoffman (1980), Nunez et al (2007), Dobkin et al (1979), perturbation, e.g., Matloff (1986), Muralidhar et al (1999), Lee et al (2010), Muralidhar et al (1995), Li and Sarkar (2006), Sarathy et al (2002), Li and Sarkar (2013), cell suppression, e.g., Castro (2007), Fischetti and Salazar (2001), providing approximate answers, e.g., Kadane et al (2006), Garfinkel et al (2002), anonymous data collection, e.g., Kumar et al (2010), and data shuffling or swapping, e.g., Muralidhar and Sarathy (2006), Li and Sarkar (2011). A good survey of classic inference control techniques on SDBs can be found in Adam and Wortmann (1989).…”
