Data Mining Based on Association Rule Privacy Preserving

The security of the large database that contains certain crucial information, it will become a serious issue when sharing data to the network against unauthorized access. Privacy preserving data mining is a new research trend in privacy data for data mining and statistical database. Association analysis is a powerful tool for discovering relationships which are hidden in large database. Association rules hiding algorithms get strong and efficient performance for protecting confidential and crucial data. Data modification and rule hiding is one of the most important approaches for secure data. The objective of the proposed Association rulehiding algorithm for privacy preserving data mining is to hide certain information so that they cannot be discovered through association rule mining algorithm. The main approached of association rule hiding algorithms to hide some generated association rules, by increase or decrease the support or the confidence of the rules. The association rule items whether in Left Hand Side (LHS) or Right Hand Side (RHS) of the generated rule, that cannot be deduced through association rule mining algorithms. The concept of Increase Support of Left Hand Side (ISL) algorithm is decrease the confidence of rule by increase the support value of LHS. It doesnÊt work for both side of rule; it works only for modification of LHS. In Decrease Support of Right Hand Side (DSR) algorithm, confidence of the rule decrease by decrease the support value of RHS. It works for the modification of RHS. We proposed a new algorithm solves the problem of them. That can increase and decrease the support of the LHS and RHS item of the rule correspondingly so that more rule hide less number of modification. The efficiency of the proposed algorithm is compared with ISL algorithms and DSR algorithms using real databases, on the basis of number of rules hide, CPU time and the number of modifies entries and got better results

Measuring Information Leakage in Website Fingerprinting Attacks and Defenses

Tor provides low-latency anonymous and uncensored network access against a local or network adversary. Due to the design choice to minimize traffic overhead (and increase the pool of potential users) Tor allows some information about the client's connections to leak. Attacks using (features extracted from) this information to infer the website a user visits are called Website Fingerprinting (WF) attacks. We develop a methodology and tools to measure the amount of leaked information about a website. We apply this tool to a comprehensive set of features extracted from a large set of websites and WF defense mechanisms, allowing us to make more fine-grained observations about WF attacks and defenses.Comment: In Proceedings of the 2018 ACM SIGSAC Conference on Computer and Communications Security (CCS '18

State of the Art in Privacy Preserving Data Mining

Privacy is one of the most important properties an information system must satisfy. A relatively new trend shows that classical access control techniques are not sufficient to guarantee privacy when Data Mining techniques are used. Such a trend, especially in the context of public databases, or in the context of sensible information related to critical infrastructures, represents, nowadays a not negligible thread. Privacy Preserving Data Mining (PPDM) algorithms have been recently introduced with the aim of modifying the database in such a way to prevent the discovery of sensible information. This is a very complex task and there exist in the scientific literature some different approaches to the problem. In this work we present a "Survey" of the current PPDM methodologies which seem promising for the future.JRC.G.6-Sensors, radar technologies and cybersecurit

Impacts of frequent itemset hiding algorithms on privacy preserving data mining

Thesis (Master)--Izmir Institute of Technology, Computer Engineering, Izmir, 2010Includes bibliographical references (leaves: 54-58)Text in English; Abstract: Turkish and Englishx, 69 leavesThe invincible growing of computer capabilities and collection of large amounts of data in recent years, make data mining a popular analysis tool. Association rules (frequent itemsets), classification and clustering are main methods used in data mining research. The first part of this thesis is implementation and comparison of two frequent itemset mining algorithms that work without candidate itemset generation: Matrix Apriori and FP-Growth. Comparison of these algorithms revealed that Matrix Apriori has higher performance with its faster data structure. One of the great challenges of data mining is finding hidden patterns without violating data owners. privacy. Privacy preserving data mining came into prominence as a solution. In the second study of the thesis, Matrix Apriori algorithm is modified and a frequent itemset hiding framework is developed. Four frequent itemset hiding algorithms are proposed such that: i) all versions work without pre-mining so privacy breech caused by the knowledge obtained by finding frequent itemsets is prevented in advance, ii) efficiency is increased since no pre-mining is required, iii) supports are found during hiding process and at the end sanitized dataset and frequent itemsets of this dataset are given as outputs so no post-mining is required, iv) the heuristics use pattern lengths rather than transaction lengths eliminating the possibility of distorting more valuable data

Protecting big data mining association rules using fuzzy system

Recently, big data is granted to be the solution to opening the subsequent large fluctuations of increase in fertility. Along with the growth, it is facing some of the challenges. One of the significant problems is data security. While people use data mining methods to identify valuable information following massive database, people further hold the necessary to maintain any knowledge so while not to be worked out, like delicate common itemsets, practices, taxonomy tree and the like Association rule mining can make a possible warning approaching the secrecy of information. So, association rule hiding methods are applied to evade the hazard of delicate information misuse. Various kinds of investigation already prepared on association rule protecting. However, maximum of them concentrate on introducing methods with a limited view outcome for inactive databases (with only existing information), while presently the researchers facing the problem with continuous information. Moreover, in the era of big data, this is essential to optimize current systems to be suited concerning the big data. This paper proposes the framework is achieving the data anonymization by using fuzzy logic by supporting big data mining. The fuzzy logic grouping the sensitivity of the association rules with a suitable association level. Moreover, parallelization methods which are inserted in the present framework will support fast data mining process

Public information and IPO underpricing

We analyze the effect of public information on rational investors' incentives to reveal private information during the bookbuilding process and their demand for allocations in the IPO. Our model generates several new predictions. First, investors require more underpricing to truthfully reveal positive private information in bear markets than in bull markets (the incentive effect). Second, the fraction of positive private signals and of underpriced IPOs is increasing in market returns (the demand effect). Combined, these two effects can explain why IPO underpricing is positively related to pre-issue market returns, consistent with extant evidence. Using a sample of 5,000 U.S. IPOs from 1981-2008, we show that the empirical implications of the model are borne out in the data.Public information; partial adjustment; underpricing; IPOs; bookbuilding

Privacy preserving data mining

A fruitful direction for future data mining research will be the development of technique that incorporates privacy concerns. Specifically, we address the following question. Since the primary task in data mining is the development of models about aggregated data, can we develop accurate models without access to precise information in individual data records? We analyze the possibility of privacy in data mining techniques in two phasesrandomization and reconstruction. Data mining services require accurate input data for their results to be meaningful, but privacy concerns may influence users to provide spurious information. To preserve client privacy in the data mining process, techniques based on random perturbation of data records are used. Suppose there are many clients, each having some personal information, and one server, which is interested only in aggregate, statistically significant, properties of this information. The clients can protect privacy of their data by perturbing it with a randomization algorithm and then submitting the randomized version. This approach is called randomization. The randomization algorithm is chosen so that aggregate properties of the data can be recovered with sufficient precision, while individual entries are significantly distorted. For the concept of using value distortion to protect privacy to be useful, we need to be able to reconstruct the original data distribution so that data mining techniques can be effectively utilized to yield the required statistics. Analysis Let xi be the original instance of data at client i. We introduce a random shift yi using randomization technique explained below. The server runs the reconstruction algorithm (also explained below) on the perturbed value zi = xi + yi to get an approximate of the original data distribution suitable for data mining applications. Randomization We have used the following randomizing operator for data perturbation: Given x, let R(x) be x+€ (mod 1001) where € is chosen uniformly at random in {-100…100}. Reconstruction of discrete data set P(X=x) = f X (x) ----Given P(Y=y) = F y (y) ---Given P (Z=z) = f Z (z) ---Given f (X/Z) = P(X=x | Z=z) = P(X=x, Z=z)/P (Z=z) = P(X=x, X+Y=Z)/ f Z (z) = P(X=x, Y=Z - X)/ f Z (z) = P(X=x)*P(Y=Z-X)/ f Z (z) = P(X=x)*P(Y=y)/ f Z (z) Results In this project we have done two aspects of privacy preserving data mining. The first phase involves perturbing the original data set using ‘randomization operator’ techniques and the second phase deals with reconstructing the randomized data set using the proposed algorithm to get an approximate of the original data set. The performance metrics like percentage deviation, accuracy and privacy breaches were calculated. In this project we studied the technical feasibility of realizing privacy preserving data mining. The basic promise was that the sensitive values in a user’s record will be perturbed using a randomizing function and an approximate of the perturbed data set be recovered using reconstruction algorithm

Spectral Detection on Sparse Hypergraphs

We consider the problem of the assignment of nodes into communities from a set of hyperedges, where every hyperedge is a noisy observation of the community assignment of the adjacent nodes. We focus in particular on the sparse regime where the number of edges is of the same order as the number of vertices. We propose a spectral method based on a generalization of the non-backtracking Hashimoto matrix into hypergraphs. We analyze its performance on a planted generative model and compare it with other spectral methods and with Bayesian belief propagation (which was conjectured to be asymptotically optimal for this model). We conclude that the proposed spectral method detects communities whenever belief propagation does, while having the important advantages to be simpler, entirely nonparametric, and to be able to learn the rule according to which the hyperedges were generated without prior information.Comment: 8 pages, 5 figure
