Clustering and analyzing on collected data can improve user experiences and quality of services in big data, IoT applications. However, directly releasing original data brings potential privacy concerns, which raises challenges and…
k-Anonymity by microaggregation is one of the most commonly used anonymization techniques. This success is owe to the achievement of a worth of interest tradeoff between information loss and identity disclosure risk. However, this method…
A tremendous amount of individual-level data is generated each day, of use to marketing, decision makers, and machine learning applications. This data often contain private and sensitive information about individuals, which can be disclosed…
Sanitizing sensitive text data typically involves removing personally identifiable information (PII) or generating synthetic data under the assumption that these methods adequately protect privacy; however, their effectiveness is often only…
We study a new privacy model where users belong to certain sensitive groups and we would like to conduct statistical inference on whether there is significant differences in outcomes between the various groups. In particular we do not…
Over the last decade, proliferation of various online platforms and their increasing adoption by billions of users have heightened the privacy risk of a user enormously. In fact, security researchers have shown that sparse microdata…
With the rapidly increasing ability to collect and analyze personal data, data privacy becomes an emerging concern. In this work, we develop a new statistical notion of local privacy to protect each categorical data that will be collected…
Attribute-based methods, such as attribute-based access control and attribute-based encryption, make decisions based on attributes possessed by a subject rather than the subject's identity. While this allows for anonymous authorization --…
Background knowledge is an important factor in privacy preserving data publishing. Distribution-based background knowledge is one of the well studied background knowledge. However, to the best of our knowledge, there is no existing work…
Statistical methods protecting sensitive information or the identity of the data owner have become critical to ensure privacy of individuals as well as of organizations. This paper investigates anonymization methods based on representation…
Big Data is used by data miner for analysis purpose which may contain sensitive information. During the procedures it raises certain privacy challenges for researchers. The existing privacy preserving methods use different algorithms that…
Open science is a fundamental pillar to promote scientific progress and collaboration, based on the principles of open data, open source and open access. However, the requirements for publishing and sharing open data are in many cases…
Biometric data contains distinctive human traits such as facial features or gait patterns. The use of biometric data permits an individuation so exact that the data is utilized effectively in identification and authentication systems. But…
Vast amounts of information of all types are collected daily about people by governments, corporations and individuals. The information is collected when users register to or use on-line applications, receive health related services, use…
While previous works on privacy-preserving serial data publishing consider the scenario where sensitive values may persist over multiple data releases, we find that no previous work has sufficient protection provided for sensitive values…
An important issue in releasing individual data is to protect the sensitive information from being leaked and maliciously utilized. Famous privacy preserving principles that aim to ensure both data privacy and data integrity, such as…
The use of AI in public spaces continually raises concerns about privacy and the protection of sensitive data. An example is the deployment of detection and recognition methods on humans, where images are provided by surveillance cameras.…
Group based anonymization is the most widely studied approach for privacy preserving data publishing. This includes k-anonymity, l-diversity, and t-closeness, to name a few. The goal of this paper is to raise a fundamental issue on the…
This paper proposes a novel watchdog privatization scheme by generalizing local information privacy (LIP) to enhance data utility. To protect the sensitive features $S$ correlated with some useful data $X$, LIP restricts the lift, the ratio…
By enabling multiple agents to cooperatively solve a global optimization problem in the absence of a central coordinator, decentralized stochastic optimization is gaining increasing attention in areas as diverse as machine learning,…
