Ribbon Cutting Ceremony, Oct 27, 2010:Inauguration of MPC-USCB Research Data Center

Pres. Bruininks (U Minnesota) & Director Graves (USCB)

IPUMS-InternationalIntegrated Microdata Samples

• 1 to 11 % samples

• Loss of geographic detail

• Top-coding of values

• Suppression of sensitive variables and values

• Grouping of small case count values

• Suitable for many research projects

Secure Data Enclave

• 25 % samples to full count• Additional geographic detail• Access to full array of

values• Access to sensitive variables

and values• Identification of un-grouped

values• Necessary for some

research projects

Data Security Model

• Valid statistical purpose• Trusted researchers• Anonymisation of data• Technical controls

around the data• Disclosure control of

results

→ safe project→ safe people→ safe data→ safe setting

→ safe data output------------------------

⁼ safe use of data

IPUMS-InternationalFeatures of the Proposed Secure Data Enclave

• Secure facilities similar to USCB Research Data Enclave

• Application approval processes similar to RDCs

• Different levels of user access to specific data

• Countries will benefit from more detailed analysis of the demographic and economic processes

• Secure sites at MPC, National Statistical Office, and/or national universities/research institutes

Proposed CalendarSecure Data Enclave Project

• 2011: NSO’s endorse project

• 2012: MPC pilots integrated full-count microdata for selected countries

• 2013: SDEs replicated within countries and extended to other countries

• 2014: Certified Virtual Secure Data Enclaves extended to National Statistical Office, and/or national universities/ research institutes

Thank you!
