Abstract

Identity disclosure of an individual from a released data is a matter of concern especially if it belongs to a category with low frequency in the data-set. Nayak et al. (2016) discussed this problem vividly in a census report and suggested a method of obfuscation, which would ensure that the probability of correctly identifying a unit from released data, would not exceed ξ for some1 3< ξ < 1. However, we observe that for the above method the level of security could be extended under certain conditions. In this paper, we discuss some conditions under which one can achieve a security for any 0 < ξ < 1.
