Research on k-Anonymity Privacy Protection of Social Network

Abstract:

Social network is a collection of interrelated social actors, including individuals, groups, organizations, enterprises, even countries, is playing more and more important role in our life. But there are a lot of individual information in social network, it would violate individual privacy when publishing and analyzing the information. To avoid privacy disclosure and prevent privacy attacks, some k-anonymity privacy protection methods of social network are presented. In this paper, we represent the models of anonymization in social network and its key points, including definition, attack, and usefulness. We compared the difference among the proposed anonymization methods and techniques of privacy preserving in social networks. Finally, potential challenges in social network are proposed.
