On Limitation of Plausible Deniability.

Recently, a new security definition, named plausible deniability, for synthetic records has been proposed by Bindschaedler et al. Intuitively, the synthetic record r is said to satisfy plausible deniability if there are multiple “original” records that may become r. In this paper, we show that even if each synthetic record satisfies the plausible deniability, there is a possibility that the collection of these records will not have the plausible deniability, i.e., some of these records are re-identifiable.
