Confidentiality-Preserving Data Publishing for Credulous Users by Extended Abduction

Abstract

Publishing private data on external servers incurs the problem of how to avoid unwanted disclosure of confidential data. We study a problem of confidentiality in extended disjunctive logic programs and show how it can be solved by extended abduction. In particular, we analyze how credulous non-monotonic reasoning affects confidentiality.
