Privacy in statistical databases is a discipline whose purpose is to provide solutions to the tension between the increasing social, political and economical demand of accurate information, and the legal and ethical obligation to protect the privacy of the various parties involved.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the International Conference on Privacy in Statistical Databases, PSD 2008, held in September 2008 in Istanbul, Turkey, under the sponsorship of the UNESCO chair in Data Privacy. The 27 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 37 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on tabular data protection; microdata protection; online databases and remote access; privacy-preserving data mining and private information retrieval; and legal issues.
