Shuffled differential privacy protection method for K-Modes clustering data collection and publication by Weijin JIANG, Yilin CHEN, Yuqing HAN, Yuting WU, Wei ZHOU, Haijuan WANG

“…Aiming at the current problem of insufficient security in clustering data collection and publication, in order to protect user privacy and improve data quality in clustering data, a privacy protection method for K-Modes clustering data collection and publication was proposed without trusted third parties based on the shuffled differential privacy model.K-Modes clustering data collection algorithm was used to sample the user data and add noise, and then the initial order of the sampled data was disturbed by filling in the value domain random arrangement publishing algorithm.The malicious attacker couldn’t identify the target user according to the relationship between the user and the data, and then to reduce the interference of noise as much as possible a new centroid was calculated by cyclic iteration to complete the clustering.Finally, the privacy, feasibility and complexity of the above three methods were analyzed from the theoretical level, and the accuracy and entropy of the three real data sets were compared with the authoritative similar algorithms KM, DPLM and LDPKM in recent years to verify the effectiveness of the proposed model.The experimental results show that the privacy protection and data quality of the proposed method are superior to the current similar algorithms.…”

Time-based and privacy protection revocable and traceable data sharing scheme in cloud computing by Jiawei ZHANG, Jianfeng MA, Zhuo MA, Teng LI

“…General ciphertext-policy attribute-based encryption (CP-ABE) provides fine-grained access control for data sharing in cloud computing, but its plaintext formed access policy may cause leakage of private and sensitive data.And revoking a malicious user by accurately tracing the identity according to a leaked decryption key is a huge challenge.Moreover, most of existing revocable schemes incur long user revocation list and low efficiency.To solve these problems, a time-based and privacy preserving revocable and traceable data sharing scheme was proposed based on CP-ABE to support expressive monotonic and partial hidden access policy, large attribute universe by conceal the attribute values in access policy.Time-limited data access control using hierarchical identity-based encryption was achieved to set key valid period for users.Moreover, with the approaches of white-box tracing and binary tree, efficient user tracing and direct revocation with shorter revocation list was realized together with high efficiency via online/offline and verifiable outsourced decryption techniques.Furthermore, the scheme was secure under decisional q-BDHE assumption.Theoretical analysis and extensive experiments demonstrate its advantageous performance in computational and storage cost.…”

A differentially-private mechanism for multi-level data publishing by Wen-jing ZHANG, Hui LI

“…Privacy preserving technology had addressed the problem of privacy leakage during data publishing proc-ess,however,current data publishing technologies mostly focused on publishing privacy preserving data with single level,without considering some scenarios of multi-level users.Therefore,a differentially-private mechanism for multi-level data publishing was proposed.The proposed mechanism employed the Laplace mechanism with different privacy budgets to output results with different privacy protection levels.After the user’s level was determined ac-cording to the charge or privilege of that specific user,the goal that a user with high(low) level can only use the out-put result with low(high) privacy protection level which had low(high) error rate could be achieved.Finally,the evaluation results and security analysis show that our proposed framework can not only prevent from background knowledge attack,but also achieve multi-level data publishing with different error rates effectively .…”
