Study Notes

Data Anonymization

  • Data Anonymization is the process of converting personal data into anonymized data using various anonymization techniques.

Characteristics of Anonymized Data

  • Anonymized data is data that has undergone transformation through anonymization techniques.
  • It should be irreversible and non-reversible.
  • The goal is to modify data to protect individual privacy while retaining its usefulness.

Anonymization Techniques

Attribute Suppression

  • It involves completely deleting entire columns in a dataset.
  • This is the strongest type of anonymization technique.
  • Used when an attribute is no longer required in the anonymized dataset.

Character Masking

  • It involves changing characters of a data value using symbols like "*", "x", or "#".
  • Typically used on strings of characters.
  • Hides part of the data to provide anonymity, suitable for credit card numbers or postal codes (e.g., xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-4913).
