On Privacy Preservation Against Adversarial Data Mining

Privacy preserving data processing has become an important topic recently because of advances in hardware technology which have lead to widespread proliferation of demographic and sensitive data. A rudimentary way to preserve privacy is to simply hide the information in some of the sensitive fields picked by a user. However, such a method is far from satisfactory in its ability to prevent adversarial data mining. Real data records are not randomly distributed. As a result, some fields in the records may be correlated with one another. This paper studies the problem of privacy preservation against adversarial data mining, which is to hide a minimal set of entries so that the privacy of the sensitive fields are satisfactorily preserved.

Data Privacy in Non-Production SAP Environments: How safe is your SAP data?

Privacy breaches are making headlines, as organizations scramble to protect the confidentiality of their critical customer and business data. While companies are making great strides in protecting data privacy in production application environments, the idea of implementing similar strategies in testing environments is often overlooked. This "Privacy Gap" needs to be addressed immediately, because it often represents the most exploited area of an organization's IT infrastructure. Taking a proactive strategy to remove this vulnerability within your SAP environment is recognized as a best practice and will help your organization with compliance with many national, international, and industry-specific regulations, while at the same time protecting your company from being the next privacy breach headline.

The Cost of Privacy: Destruction of Data-Mining Utility in Anonymized Data Publishing

Re-identification is a major privacy threat to public datasets containing individual records. Many privacy protection algorithms rely on generalization and suppression of "Quasi-identifier" attributes such as ZIP code and birthdate. This paper asks whether generalization and suppression of quasi-identifiers offer any benefits over trivial sanitization which simply separates quasi-identifiers from sensitive attributes. Previous work showed that k-anonymous databases can be useful for data mining, but k-anonymization does not guarantee any privacy. By contrast, they measure the tradeoff between privacy (how much can the adversary learn from the sanitized records?) and utility, measured as accuracy of data-mining algorithms executed on the same sanitized records.
