Zusammenfassung:The present article reviews the theory of data privacy and confidentiality in statistics and computer science, to modernize the theory of anonymization. This effort results in the mathematical definitions of identity disclosure and attribute disclosure applicable to even synthetic data. Also differential privacy is clarified as a method to bound the accuracy of population inference. This bound is derived by the Hammersley-Chapman-Robbins inequality, and it leads to the intuitive selection of the privacy budget ϵ of differential privacy.
