Re-identification scenario
X = id || Xnc || Xc X’ = X’nc || Xc
Privacy is ensured, quasi-identifiers are anonymized
Data quality is preserved, confidential attributes are preserved

Distance based Record linkage
Probabilistic Record linkage
• The nearest pairs of record are considered as linked pairs • It is very easy to tune
• Results very dependent of the parameters
• Moderated time cost
• Linked pairs are computed using conditional probabilities • Tuning is difficult
• Few parameters
• High time cost

Rank swapping - p
Algorithm
For all attrj where 1 j n
Attrj is sorted
all values xij are swapped with xil where i < l l+p
Sorting Attrj is reversed

Optimal univariate Microaggregation
Result 1. When the elements are sorted according to an attribute, for any optimal partition, the elements in each cluster are contiguous (non overlapping clusters exist)
Result 2. All clusters of any optimal partition have between k and 2k-1 elements.

Score: Protection method evaluation
Score = 0.5 IL + 0.5 DR
IL = 100(0.2 IL1+0.2 IL2+0.2 IL3+0.2 IL4+0.2 IL5)
IL1 = mean of absolute error
IL2 = mean variation of average
IL3 = mean variation of variance
IL4 = mean variation of covariancie
IL5 = mean variation of correlation
DR = 0.25 DLD+0.25 PLD+0.5 ID
DLD = number of links using DBRL
PLD = number of links using PRL
ID = protected values near orginal

On method-specific record linkage for risk assessment Location Problem Desciption
L-RL: Location Record Linkage
Standard record linkage compares all records
Rank swapping, univariate microaggregation and other methods only use some original records to create the protected data set
It is unnecessary to compare all the records

On method-specific record linkage for risk assessment Conclusions and future work
• We have presented a new type of record linkage designed
to exploit the limitations of some protection methods
• L-RL method obtains a more accurate DR evaluation for
rank swapping and univariate microaggregation
• MDAV is immune to the location problem
Conclusions
• We plan to study the DR of MDAV and other protection methods using other ad-hoc methods
