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).
