The response “sensitive value; response suppressed” is itself a disclosure. Suggest a manner in which a database management system could suppress responses that reveal sensitive information without disclosing that the responses to certain queries are sensitive.

What will be an ideal response?


Random data suppression can be applied toqueries. The database management system could periodically suppress the response to a particular query that was not sensitive. Then, when a user received information that a response had been suppressed, the user would not know if it was because of random suppression or sensitive data. This approach fails, however, if the user submits the same query several times and the result is always suppressed. If the system practices random suppression, it must always suppress the results of the same query in order notto reveal whether the suppression is because the result is sensitive or because this is a random suppression. Note that the user can submit the query in several forms or submit partial queries that can be combined separately to obtain the desired answer. Thus, the tracking of what query responses have been suppressed is not as simple as recording syntactically which query results have been suppressed.
