Record linkage without patient identifiers: Proof of concept using data from South Africa's national HIV program. by Khumbo Shumba, Jacob Bor, Cornelius Nattey, Dickman Gareta, Evelyn Lauren, William Macleod, Matthew P Fox, Adrian Puren, Koleka Mlisana, Dorina Onoya

“…Linkage variables were result value, specimen collection date, facility of collection, year and month of birth, and sex. We used three matching strategies: exact matching on exact values of all variables, caliper matching allowing a ± 5 day window on result date, and specimen barcode matching using unique specimen identifiers. …”

AdaBoost algorithm based on target perturbation by Shufen ZHANG, Yanling DONG, Jingcheng XU, Haoshi WANG

“…Aiming at the problem that the multi-round iteration process in the AdaBoost algorithm will amplify the noise added to achieve differential privacy protection, which leads to slow model convergence and greatly reduced data availability, an AdaBoost algorithm based on target perturbation—DPAda was proposed.Target perturbation was used to add noise to sample weights, accurately calculated their sensitivity, and a dynamic privacy budget was given.In order to solve the problem of excessive noise superposition, three noise injection algorithms based on swing sequence, random response and improved random response were proposed.The experimental results show that compared with DPAda_Random and DPAda_Swing, DPAda_Improved achieves the privacy protection of data, has higher classification accuracy, as well as better than other differential privacy AdaBoost algorithm, and can also solve the problem of excessive noise caused by continuous noise addition.…”

Security, QoS and energy aware optimization of cloud-edge data centers using game theory and homomorphic encryption: Modeling and formal verification by Mbarek Marwan, Abdelkarim Ait Temghart, Said Ouhmi, Mohamed Lazaar

“…First of all, we develop a secure offloading technique that can process data while preserving privacy. Although RSA and Paillier cryptosystems are highly beneficial for mathematical operations on basic encrypted data due to their homomorphic properties, images are processed using permutation-ordered binary (POB) and Shamir's secret sharing (SSS). …”
