Differential Privacy-Aware Data Sanitization for Multi-Level Security
Abstract: Multi-level security (MLS) models are fundamental for enforcing mandatory access control in high-security environments such as government, military, healthcare, and finance. However, traditional MLS frameworks, including the Bell-LaPadula and Biba models, often create rigid data silos, preventing efficient data utilization. Differential privacy (DP) presents a novel solution by enabling controlled information leakage while preserving confidentiality. By injecting statistical noise into query results, DP allows lower-clearance users to access sanitized versions …
