An Effective Heuristic Approach for Hiding Sensitive Patterns in Databases
Mrs. P.Cynthia Selvi · IOSR Journal of Computer Engineering · 2012
Privacy has been identified as a vital requirement in designing and implementing Data Mining (DM) systems.This motivated Privacy Preservation in Data Mining (PPDM) as a rising field of research and various approaches are being introduced by the researchers.One of the approaches is a sanitization process, that transforms the source database into a modified one that the adversaries cannot extract the sensitive patterns from.This study address this concept and proposes an effective heuristic-based algorithm which is aimed at minimizing the number of removal of items in the source database possibly with no hiding failure.
