Page 3 Transforming Data to Satisfy Privacy Constraints 1. Introduction ◆ Importance of protecting individual data ◆ Importance of protecting individual data - explicitly identifying data (social security number) - explicitly identifying data (social security number) - potentially identifying data (date of birth, gender, zip code) - potentially identifying data (date of birth, gender, zip code) ◆ how to protect ◆ how to protect - replace any explicitly identifying information by some - replace any explicitly identifying information by some randomized data randomized data - but not sufficient because it can be easily inferred. - but not sufficient because it can be easily inferred. ex) social security number <= zip code, date of birth, ex) social security number <= zip code, date of birth, gender on some data set gender on some data set

Genetic algorithm framework Solving optimization problem ◆ 자연의 진화론을 적용 ◆ 각 규칙들은 비트스트링 (chromosome) 으로 표현됨 -> 일반화 ◆ 속성 A1 과 A2, 클래스 C1 과 C2 “IF A1 AND NOT A2 THEN C2" -> "100" “IF A1 AND NOT A2 THEN C2" -> "100" "IF NOT A1 AND NOT A2 THEN C1" -> "001“ "IF NOT A1 AND NOT A2 THEN C1" -> "001“ ◆ 새로운 규칙생성 : 교차 (crossover), 돌연변이 (mutation) : 교차 (crossover), 돌연변이 (mutation)

Page 11 Transforming Data to Satisfy Privacy Constraints 4. Experiments ◆ records from adult benchmark in the UCI repository ◆ 8 attr : age, work class, education, marital status, occupation, race, gender, native country occupation, race, gender, native country [Experiment 1] 1. CM: little degradation as k=10~ low value (around 0.18) : good transformation : good transformation 3. solution for k=250 generalizes away all the information in the attrs.. all the information in the attrs.. 4. LM : algorithm didn’t optimize LM metic : algorithm didn’t optimize LM metic 5. Solutions targeted at one usage * higher value K * higher value K -> stricter privacy constraints -> stricter privacy constraints

LM values 0.21~0.49 as k 10~ tradeoff level of privacy (by k) vs level of privacy (by k) vs loss of information (LM) loss of information (LM) 3. CM fall in the range from 0.3 to 0.4 [By experiment 1,2] -the value is tailored to the purpose of which the data is disseminated. -It is Difficult to produce truly multi- purpose data set
