Summary

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the International Conference on Privacy in Statistical Databases, PSD 2006, held in December 2006 in Rome, Italy as the main conference of the CENEX-SDC (CENtre of EXcellence for Statistical Disclosure Control) project. The 31 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 45 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on methods for tabular protection, utility and risk in tabular protection, methods for microdata protection, utility and risk in microdata protection, protocols for private computation, case studies, and software.
