Abstract The explosion of data and the increased ease with which large data bases can be mined are causing government agencies concern over the release of information collected for the public good. The US government must simultaneously inform public debate on the economy and the general population and not release data that leads directly back to a respondent. Hence, some method has to be employed to release statistical data without revealing confidential information. To date, data disclosure methods have allowed release of data without undo risk of identifying respondents. But the information explosion and enhanced data access techniques leads the government to be concerned about future releases of statistical information. To address this topic the Census Bureau and other agencies and organizations sponsored the development of a book and a conference entitled Confidentiality, Disclosure, and Data Access: Summary of a Conference: Theory and Practical Applications for Statistical Agencies. This paper summarizes the book and the conference discussions and highlights plans for future research and development.
