Privacy-Preserving data mining techniques: Survey and challenges

Abstract

This chapter presents a brief summary and review of Privacy-preserving Data Mining (PPDM). The review of the existing approaches is structured along a tentative taxonomy of PPDM as a field. The main axes of this taxonomy specify what kind of data is being protected, and what is the ownership of the data (centralized or distributed). We comment on the relationship between PPDM and preventing discriminatory use of data mining techniques. We round up the chapter by discussing some of the new, arising challenges before PPDM as a field.
