CS 665 Anonymization of Statistical Databases by Daniel Painter
The world we live in… • Increased digitalization of records • Digital storage trend will continue to grow in the future
Statistical Databases • Variation in meaning • What is a “true” statistical database? • What people tend to really mean…
But I don’t want to die! • We tend to not change unless they have a reason to do so • It is important to understand that there is a problem • Examples?
So, what problems do we have? • Data inference by an attacker • Multiple sources of distributed data
Example one: Medical records1 • How do we infer data? • Consider a patient’s record and diagnosis • Age, gender, zip code • Combine this with publicly available information
Example two: Hanging Chad • So, you buy some things off of the internet • Amazon • Newegg • Ebay • Chad’s Lawn and Garden
How do we keep our data safe? • K-anonymized data • A k-anonymized dataset has the property that each record is indistinguishable from at least k-1 others. • Protect sensitive data
Techniques used in this anonymization • Supression • Generalization
Microaggregation • Partition records into groups that are similar
A much better way to make data safe… • Intelligent database design • Separate sensitive data from data people can view • ENCRYPT!!!
What needs to be done & questions • Make people aware of statistical database anonymization • Design databases to incorporate DA • Standards for databases containing personal information
