Summary

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the International Workshop on Privacy in Statistical Databases, PSD 2004, held in June 2004 in Barcelona, Spain as the final conference of the European IST Project Computational Aspects of Statistical Confidentiality. The 29 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 44 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on foundations of tabular protection, methods for tabular protection, masking for microdata protection, risks in microdata protection, synthetic data, and software and case studies.
