Privacy Models for Data Anonymization: a Comprehensive Comparative Analysis

EasyChair Preprint no. 14129

Abstract

This paper provides an in-depth discussion of existing anonymization privacy models. The main focus is on their applications, strengths, and limitations, with a particular emphasis on k-anonymity. The paper explores the theoretical foundations of k-anonymity and its extensions, such as l-diversity and t-closeness. It analyzes how these models contribute to safeguarding individual privacy in data publishing. This paper comprehensively reviews current methodologies and highlights the practical implementations of k-anonymity in various domains, including healthcare, finance, and social sciences. Case studies and experimental results from real-world data sets demonstrate the effectiveness and challenges of applying k-anonymity in different scenarios.
