A privacy-preserving biometric matching technique for binary vectors more efficient than the Goldwasser-Micali approach has been proposed in “Customisation of Paillier Homomorphic Encryption for Efficient Binary Biometric Feature Vector Matching [PPRU14]” based on exploiting Paillier’s capability of encrypting messages larger than one bit at a time. We demonstrate that the suggested solution do...

Privacy preserving becomes an important issue in the development of various data mining techni'ques. In this paper, we have discussed various techniques to preserve privacy while mining data. In the absence of uniform framework across all data mining techniques, researchers have focused on data technique specific privacy preserving issue. Available framework and algorithms provide further insig...

Preserving the privacy of individuals when data are shared for clustering is a complex problem. The challenge is how to protect the underlying data values subjected to clustering without jeopardizing the similarity between objects under analysis. In this short paper, we revisit a family of geometric data transformation methods (GDTMs) that distort numerical attributes by translations, scalings,...

Handling missing data is a critical step to ensuring good results in data mining. Like most data mining algorithms, existing privacy-preserving data mining algorithms assume data is complete. In order to maintain privacy in the data mining process while cleaning data, privacy-preserving methods of data cleaning will be required. In this paper, we address the problem of privacy-preserving data i...

The concept of privacy is expressed as release of information in a controlled way. Privacy could also be defined as privacy decides what type of personal information should be released and which group or person can access and use it. Privacy Preserving Data Publishing (PPDP) is a way to allow one to share anonymous data to ensure protection against identity disclosure of an individual. Data ano...

This paper addresses the important tradeoff between privacy and learnability, when designing algorithms for learning from private databases. We focus on privacy-preserving logistic regression. First we apply an idea of Dwork et al. [6] to design a privacy-preserving logistic regression algorithm. This involves bounding the sensitivity of regularized logistic regression, and perturbing the learn...

This article presents a new approach for privacy preserving neural network training. Several studies have been devoted to privacy preserving supervised model learning, but little work has been done to extend neural network learning with a privacy preserving protocol. Neural networks are popular for many applications, among else those calling for a robust learning algorithm. In this study, we el...

The question of how government agencies can acquire actionable, useful information about legitimate but unknown targets without intruding upon the electronic activity of innocent parties is extremely important. We address this question by providing experimental evidence that actionable, useful information can indeed be obtained in a manner that preserves the privacy of innocent parties and that...

Data is becoming increasingly valuable, but concerns over its security and privacy have limited its utility in analytics. Researchers and practitioners are constantly facing a privacy-utility tradeoff where addressing the former is often at the cost of the data utility and accuracy. In this paper, we draw upon mathematical properties of partially homomorphic encryption, a form of asymmetric key...

Large repositories of data contain sensitive information that must be protected against unauthorized access. The protection of the confidentiality of this information has been a long-term goal for the database security research community and for the government statistical agencies. Recent advances in data mining and machine learning algorithms have increased the disclosure risks that one may en...
