Closeness: A New Privacy Measure for Data Publishing

Ninghui Li, Member, IEEE, Tiancheng Li, and Suresh Venkatasubramanian

Abstract The k-anonymity privacy requirement for publishing microdata requires that each equivalence class (i.e., a set of records that are indistinguishable from each other with respect to certain identifying attributes) contains at least k records. Recently, several authors have recognized that k-anonymity cannot prevent attribute disclosure. The notion of -diversity has been proposed to address this; -diversity requires that each equivalence class has at least wellrepresented (in Section 2) values for each sensitive attribute. In this paper, we show that diversity has a number of limitations. In particular, it is neither necessary nor sufficient to

prevent attribute disclosure. Motivated by these limitations, we propose a new notion of

privacy called closeness. We first present the base model tcloseness, which requires that the distribution of a sensitive attribute in any equivalence class is close to the distribution of the attribute in the overall table (i.e., the distance between the two distributions should be no more than a threshold t). We then propose a more flexible privacy model called n; t-closeness that offers higher utility. We describe our desiderata for designing a distance measure between two probability distributions and present two distance measures. We discuss the rationale for using

closeness as a privacy measure and illustrate its advantages through examples and experiments.

SMART CODE GENERATOR: ALGORITHM STEP 1 : Create a database and create a table named as autocode (user-defined). STEP 2 : In that table, Create two fields named as auto_code and auto_value. STEP 3 : Generate Auto code Value Ranges from [ 0 to 9] and for each auto code value corresponding special characters will be fixed [`~!@#$%^&*()_] STEP 4 : Initialize Integer s1,s2,s3,i1,i2,i3,i4,i5,i6 as Integer. STEP 5 : Assign Current system seconds to s1 which holds two digit integer character where i1 = s1/10 and i2 = s1 Mod 10. STEP 6 : Assign Current system Minute to s2 which holds two digit integer character where i3 = s2/10 and i4 = s2 Mod 10. STEP 7 : Assign Current system milliseconds to s3 which holds two digit integer character where i5 = s3/10 and i6 = s3 Mod 10. STEP 8 : Concatenate i1, i2,i3,i4,i5,i6 and send this secret code to recipient.
