Abstract:

A great challenge in privacy preservation is to trade off two important issues: data utility and privacy preservation, in publication of dataset which usually contain sensitive information. Anonymization is a well-represent approach to achieve this, and there exist several anonymity models. Most of those models mainly focus on protecting privacy exerting identical protection for the whole table with pre-defined parameters. This could not meet the diverse requirements of protection degrees varied with different sensitive value. Motivated by this, this paper firstly proposes an a-diversity k-anonymity model to satisfy diversity deassociation for sensitive information, and meanwhile, designs a framework based on an improved microaggregation algorithm, as an alternative to generalization/suppression to achieve anonymization. By using this framework, we improve the data utility and decrease the disclosure risk of privacy disclosure. We conduct several experiments to validate our schemes.
