Extending Microaggregation Procedures for Time Series Protection

چکیده
Privacy is becoming a pervasive issue, as nowadays information is gathered by all kind of information systems. In this paper we introduce a method for database protection in the case that the data under consideration is expressed in terms of time series. We propose the use of microaggregation for this purpose and extend standard microaggregation so that it works for this kind of data.

متن کاملOptimal Multivariate 2-Microaggregation for Microdata Protection: A 2-Approximation
Microaggregation is a special clustering problem where the goal is to cluster a set of points into groups of at least k points in such a way that groups are as homogeneous as possible. Microaggregation arises in connection with anonymization of statistical databases for privacy protection (k-anonymity), where points are assimilated to database records. A usual group homogeneity criterion is wit...
متن کاملA Comparative Study on Microaggregation Techniques for Microdata Protection
Microaggregation is an efficient Statistical Disclosure Control (SDC) perturbative technique for microdata protection. It is a unified approach and naturally satisfies k-Anonymity without generalization or suppression of data. Various microaggregation techniques: fixed-size and data-oriented for univariate and multivariate data exists in the literature. These methods have been evaluated using t...
متن کاملThe Effect of Microaggregation Procedures on the Estimation of Linear Models: A Simulation Study
Microaggregation is a set of procedures that distort empirical data in order to guarantee the factual anonymity of the data. At the same time the information content of data sets should not be reduced too much and should still be useful for scientific research. This paper investigates the effect of microaggregation on the estimation of a linear regression by ordinary least squares. It studies, ...
متن کاملAn approximate microaggregation approach for microdata protection
Microdata protection is a hot topic in the field of Statistical Disclosure Control, which has gained special interest after the disclosure of 658000 queries by the America Online (AOL) search engine in August 2006. Many algorithms, methods and properties have been proposed to deal with microdata disclosure. One of the emerging concepts in microdata protection is k-anonymity, introduced by Samar...
