First and foremost, I would like to thank my family and friends for their support and encouragement that made all this possible. I would like to offer special thanks to my supervising professor Dr. Nan Zhang for his consistent help, support, and guidance throughout this endeavor. His patience, experience, and knowledge have been invaluable throughout my research, and I am truly grateful for this. I would also like to thank Dr. Heng Huang and Dr. Donggang Liu for their encouragement during the course of the project. I would also like to thank Dr. Bahram Khalili, my graduate advisor and professor, for his help, advice and guidance throughout my M.S.

of the most promising methods for protecting dynamic-online statistical databases is also presented. To date no single security-control method prevents both exact and partial disclosures. There are, however, a few perturbation-based methods that prevent exact disclosure and enable the database administrator

of a computer system to disclose the whole transaction log. Administrator, however, wants to protect the privacy of innocent users. This paper presents a solution for the disclosure/privacy problem of transaction log. In this scheme, Police can search over the encrypted records of the

We perform a theoretical study of the following queryview security problem: given a view V to be published, does V logically disclose information about a confidential query S? The problem is motivated by the need to manage the risk of unintended information disclosure in today’s world of universal

private opportunity cost that is uniformly drawn from [0,1]. We characterize the Sender’s optimal information disclosure rule assuming commitment power on her behalf. While the Receiver’s welfare is maximized by full disclosure, the Sender’s pro…ts are typically maximized by partial disclosure, in which

We characterize the optimal form of this partial disclosure. We also relate our results to the debate on the disclosure of stress test results. We thank Mitchell
