Data sharing with strong privacy against inference attacks. This project aims to develop theories and techniques for strong protection of personal information in sharing large datasets such as national health data or census records. It intends to achieve this through developing new information theoretic methods for synthesising datasets with proven high fidelity and protection against re-identification and inference attacks, where attackers try to learn probability of sensitive data.

This project aims to develop theories and techniques for strong protection of personal information in sharing large datasets such as national health data or census records. It intends to achieve this through developing new information theoretic methods for synthesising datasets with proven high fidelity and protection against re-identification and inference attacks, where attackers try to learn probability of sensitive data. The expected outcomes are algorithms for public and private sector data curators to dial up or down their data access arrangements based on privacy risks and fidelity demands linked with different data types and uses. This project intends to enable Australians to securely benefit from valuable data in decision making.Read moreRead less
Credential Systems and Their Applications in Securing Electronic Health Records. The expected result of this project will be frontier technologies that are essential in applications and services, whose acceptance and take-up will depend on users' assurance of their security in the cyber world. In particular, a service such as the EHR system, which is known to be a complex system, requires the use of new and innovative credential-based systems. The result will also contribute to maintaining Austr ....Credential Systems and Their Applications in Securing Electronic Health Records. The expected result of this project will be frontier technologies that are essential in applications and services, whose acceptance and take-up will depend on users' assurance of their security in the cyber world. In particular, a service such as the EHR system, which is known to be a complex system, requires the use of new and innovative credential-based systems. The result will also contribute to maintaining Australia's leading position in the telecommunication and information technology industries, which has been recognised by increased government funding levels. The resulting applications of this project will place Australia as the first country able to design and implement a secure EHR system.Read moreRead less
