As e-commerce and Internet-based data handling become pervasive, companies and statistical agencies have the need to exploit the data they accumulate without violating citizens' privacy. Inference control is a discipline whose goal is to prevent published/exchanged data from being linked with the individual respondents they originated from. This special issue illustrates that inference control largely draws on soft computing and artificial intelligence techniques.

This paper explores the integration of semantic computing technologies with security technologies. Past and current research on the application of semantic web technologies for policy management and inference control, the application of data mining technologies for intrusion and malware detection, and programming language-based approaches to mobile code certification and data confidentiality enforcement are discussed.
