Privacy Preserving Data Mining: A Survey

Privacy Preserving Data Mining (PPDM) aims to extract useful knowledge from large
datasets while ensuring that sensitive information remains protected. The techniques
in PPDM can be broadly categorized into three main approaches: data
anonymization, data perturbation, and secure multi-party computation.

1. Data Anonymization

Data anonymization techniques modify the data in a way that prevents the
identification of individual records while preserving the data's utility for analysis. Key
methods include:

 k-Anonymity

 Definition: Ensures that each record in the dataset is indistinguishable


from at least 𝑘−1k−1 other records regarding certain identifying
attributes.
 Techniques: Generalization (replacing specific values with broader
categories) and suppression (removing some values).
 Limitations: Vulnerable to homogeneity and background knowledge
attacks.

 l-Diversity

 Definition: Extends k-anonymity by ensuring that each equivalence


class (a set of records indistinguishable from each other) has at least 𝑙l
well-represented values for the sensitive attribute.
 Techniques: Ensures diversity of sensitive attributes within each
equivalence class.
 Limitations: Can be difficult to achieve in datasets with skewed
sensitive attribute distributions.

 t-Closeness

 Definition: Ensures that the distribution of a sensitive attribute in any


equivalence class is close to the distribution of the attribute in the
overall dataset.
 Techniques: Measures the distance between distributions using
metrics like Earth Mover's Distance.
 Advantages: Provides stronger privacy guarantees by preserving the
overall distribution of sensitive attributes.
2. Data Perturbation

Data perturbation techniques involve altering the data in a way that prevents
disclosure of sensitive information while allowing meaningful patterns to be mined.

 Noise Addition

 Method: Adds random noise to data values to mask the original


values.
 Types of Noise: Gaussian noise, Laplace noise, etc.
 Advantages: Simple to implement and can provide strong privacy
guarantees.
 Challenges: Balancing the trade-off between data utility and privacy.

 Data Swapping

 Method: Swaps values between records in the dataset to break the link
between the data and the individuals.
 Application: Used to protect categorical and numerical data.
 Advantages: Preserves the overall data distribution.
 Challenges: Can introduce biases if not done carefully.

 Randomization

 Method: Modifies data in a controlled random manner.


 Applications: Commonly used in randomized response techniques.
 Advantages: Provides strong privacy guarantees with provable privacy
metrics.
 Challenges: Ensuring that the randomized data retains sufficient utility
for analysis.

3. Secure Multi-party Computation (SMC)

SMC techniques allow multiple parties to collaboratively compute a function over


their inputs while keeping those inputs private.

 Homomorphic Encryption

 Definition: Allows computations to be performed on encrypted data


without decrypting it.
 Applications: Enables privacy-preserving computations in scenarios
where data confidentiality is crucial.
 Advantages: Strong security guarantees since data remains encrypted
during computation.
 Challenges: High computational overhead and complexity.

 Secret Sharing

 Method: Distributes a secret among multiple parties, requiring


collaboration for reconstruction.
 Types: Shamir's Secret Sharing, additive secret sharing.
 Applications: Used in protocols for secure voting, joint data analysis.
 Advantages: Robust against certain types of attacks since the secret is
never fully revealed.
 Challenges: Communication overhead and complexity in managing
shares.

Key Points to Remember

 Privacy vs. Utility Trade-off: All PPDM techniques need to balance the
trade-off between maintaining the utility of the data and ensuring privacy.
 Evaluation Metrics: Common metrics for evaluating privacy include
information loss, data utility, and the risk of re-identification.
 Context-specific Techniques: The choice of technique often depends on the
specific context and requirements of the data mining task and the sensitivity
of the data involved.

Applications of PPDM

 Healthcare: Protecting patient data while enabling the analysis of medical


records for research.
 Finance: Securing transaction data while allowing the detection of fraud
patterns.
 Social Networks: Anonymizing user data to prevent re-identification while
analyzing social behavior.

By employing these techniques, PPDM ensures that sensitive information is protected


throughout the data mining process, enabling organizations to leverage data for
insights without compromising individual privacy.
Privacy in Database Publishing: Bayesian Perspective

The Bayesian perspective on privacy in database publishing leverages probabilistic


models to ensure that published data protects individual privacy. This approach uses
Bayesian inference to assess and mitigate the risk of re-identification while
maintaining data utility.

Key Concepts

1. Bayesian Inference

 Definition: A statistical method that updates the probability for a


hypothesis as more evidence or information becomes available.
 Application in Privacy: Used to model and quantify the risk of re-
identification by estimating the likelihood that a particular individual
can be identified from anonymized data.

2. Prior and Posterior Distributions

 Prior Distribution: Represents the initial beliefs about the data before
observing any evidence.
 Posterior Distribution: Updated beliefs after considering the observed
data.
 Importance: Helps in understanding how new data affects the
probability of re-identification.

3. Privacy Metrics

 Risk Assessment: Measures the risk that a published dataset allows re-
identification of individuals.
 Example Metric: Re-identification probability.
 Utility Metrics: Evaluates the usefulness of the anonymized data for
analysis purposes.
 Example Metric: Information loss or data utility score.

4. Differential Privacy

 Definition: A privacy model that ensures the output of any analysis is


not significantly affected by the inclusion or exclusion of a single
database entry.
 Mechanisms:
 Laplace Mechanism: Adds noise scaled to the sensitivity of the
query to ensure privacy.
 Exponential Mechanism: Used for non-numeric queries,
selecting outputs with probabilities proportional to a utility
function.

Bayesian Methods in Database Publishing

effectively while maintaining utility.
 Steps:
1. Construct a Bayesian network representing the joint distribution
of the attributes.
2. Use the network to generate synthetic data that preserves the
statistical properties of the original data.

2. Bayesian Differential Privacy

 Concept: Combine Bayesian inference with differential privacy to


enhance privacy protection.
 Method: Use prior knowledge to inform the amount and distribution
of noise added to the data or query results.

3. Privacy Risk Estimation Tools

 Tools: Software tools that implement Bayesian methods to estimate


and mitigate privacy risks in published data.
