Inference attacks in peer-to-peer homogeneous distributed data mining
Josenildo Costa da Silva, Matthias Klusch, Stefano Lodi, Gianluca Moro · 2004
Spontaneous formation of peer-to-peer agent-based data mining systems seems a plausible scenario in years to come. However, the emergence of peer-to-peer environments further exacerbates privacy and security concerns that arise when performing data mining tasks. We analyze potential threats to data privacy in a peer-to-peer agent-based distributed data mining scenario, and discuss inference attacks which could compromise data privacy in a peer-to-peer distributed clustering scheme known as KDEC.
