The result of the project was the creation of datasets and statistical outputs for the years 2011 to 2014 to meet Eurostat＇s annual earnings statistics requirements and the Structure of Earnings Survey （SES） Regulation. Record linking across the Census and various public sector datasets enabled the necessary information to be acquired to meet the Eurostat earnings requirements. However, the risk of statistical disclosure （i.e. identifying an individual on the dataset） is high unless privacy and confidentiality safe-guards are built into the data matching process. This paper looks at the three methods of linking records on big datasets employed on the SESADP, and how to anonymise the data to protect the identity of the individuals, where potentially disclosive variables exist.展开更多

A method of quantifying the privacy of network data anonymization based on similarity distance and entropy in the scenario involving multiparty network data sharing with Trusted Third Party (TTP) is proposed. Simulations are then conducted using network data from different sources, and show that the measurement indicators defined in this paper can adequately quantify the privacy of the network. In particular, it can indicate the effect of the auxiliary information of the adversary on privacy.展开更多

Thus, to train the model while maintaining user privacy, we adopt a federated learning framework.However, in all classical federated learning frameworks secure aggregation, the Federated Averaging (FedAvg)method is used to directly weight the model parameters on average, which may have an adverse effect on te model.Therefore, we propose the Federated Reinforcement Learning (FedRL) model, which consists of multiple userscollaboratively training the model. Each household trains a local model on local data. These local data neverleave the local area, and only the encrypted parameters are uploaded to the central server to participate in thesecure aggregation of the global model. We improve FedAvg by incorporating a Q-learning algorithm to assignweights to each locally uploaded local model. And the model has improved predictive performance. We validatethe performance of the FedRL model by testing it on a real-world dataset and compare the experimental results withother models. The performance of our proposed method in most of the evaluation metrics is improved comparedto both the centralized and distributed models.展开更多

Sample fusion is the basis of horizontalfederation learning, but it is suitable only for scenarios where customershave the same format but different targets, namely for scenarios with strongfeature overlapping and weak user overlapping. To solve this limitation, thispaper proposes a federated learning-based model with local data sharing anddifferential privacy. The indexing mechanism of differential privacy is used toobtain different degrees of privacy budgets, which are applied to the gradientaccording to the contribution degree to ensure privacy without affectingaccuracy. In addition, data sharing is performed to improve the utility ofthe global model. Further, the distributed prediction model is used to predictcustomers’ loan propensity on the premise of protecting user privacy. Usingan aggregation mechanism based on federated learning can help to train themodel on distributed data without exposing local data. The proposed methodis verified by experiments, and experimental results show that for non-iiddata, the proposed method can effectively improve data accuracy and reducethe impact of sample tilt. The proposed method can be extended to edgecomputing, blockchain, and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) fields.The theoretical analysis and experimental results show that the proposedmethod can ensure the privacy and accuracy of the federated learning processand can also improve the model utility for non-iid data by 7% compared tothe federated averaging method (FedAvg).展开更多

文摘Privacy protection for big data linking is discussed here in relation to the Central Statistics Office （CSO）, Ireland＇s, big data linking project titled the ＇Structure of Earnings Survey - Administrative Data Project＇ （SESADP）. The result of the project was the creation of datasets and statistical outputs for the years 2011 to 2014 to meet Eurostat＇s annual earnings statistics requirements and the Structure of Earnings Survey （SES） Regulation. Record linking across the Census and various public sector datasets enabled the necessary information to be acquired to meet the Eurostat earnings requirements. However, the risk of statistical disclosure （i.e. identifying an individual on the dataset） is high unless privacy and confidentiality safe-guards are built into the data matching process. This paper looks at the three methods of linking records on big datasets employed on the SESADP, and how to anonymise the data to protect the identity of the individuals, where potentially disclosive variables exist.

文摘This paper aims to find a practical way of quantitatively representing the privacy of network data. A method of quantifying the privacy of network data anonymization based on similarity distance and entropy in the scenario involving multiparty network data sharing with Trusted Third Party (TTP) is proposed. Simulations are then conducted using network data from different sources, and show that the measurement indicators defined in this paper can adequately quantify the privacy of the network. In particular, it can indicate the effect of the auxiliary information of the adversary on privacy.

文摘Most studies have conducted experiments on predicting energy consumption by integrating data formodel training.However, the process of centralizing data can cause problems of data leakage.Meanwhile,many laws and regulationson data security and privacy have been enacted, making it difficult to centralize data, which can lead to a datasilo problem. Thus, to train the model while maintaining user privacy, we adopt a federated learning framework.However, in all classical federated learning frameworks secure aggregation, the Federated Averaging (FedAvg)method is used to directly weight the model parameters on average, which may have an adverse effect on te model.Therefore, we propose the Federated Reinforcement Learning (FedRL) model, which consists of multiple userscollaboratively training the model. Each household trains a local model on local data. These local data neverleave the local area, and only the encrypted parameters are uploaded to the central server to participate in thesecure aggregation of the global model. We improve FedAvg by incorporating a Q-learning algorithm to assignweights to each locally uploaded local model. And the model has improved predictive performance. We validatethe performance of the FedRL model by testing it on a real-world dataset and compare the experimental results withother models. The performance of our proposed method in most of the evaluation metrics is improved comparedto both the centralized and distributed models.

文摘In the financial sector, data are highly confidential and sensitive,and ensuring data privacy is critical. Sample fusion is the basis of horizontalfederation learning, but it is suitable only for scenarios where customershave the same format but different targets, namely for scenarios with strongfeature overlapping and weak user overlapping. To solve this limitation, thispaper proposes a federated learning-based model with local data sharing anddifferential privacy. The indexing mechanism of differential privacy is used toobtain different degrees of privacy budgets, which are applied to the gradientaccording to the contribution degree to ensure privacy without affectingaccuracy. In addition, data sharing is performed to improve the utility ofthe global model. Further, the distributed prediction model is used to predictcustomers’ loan propensity on the premise of protecting user privacy. Usingan aggregation mechanism based on federated learning can help to train themodel on distributed data without exposing local data. The proposed methodis verified by experiments, and experimental results show that for non-iiddata, the proposed method can effectively improve data accuracy and reducethe impact of sample tilt. The proposed method can be extended to edgecomputing, blockchain, and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) fields.The theoretical analysis and experimental results show that the proposedmethod can ensure the privacy and accuracy of the federated learning processand can also improve the model utility for non-iid data by 7% compared tothe federated averaging method (FedAvg).

文摘Publishing big data and making it accessible to researchers is important for knowledge building as it helps in applying highly efficient methods to plan,conduct,and assess scientific research.However,publishing and processing big data poses a privacy concern related to protecting individuals’sensitive information while maintaining the usability of the published data.Several anonymization methods,such as slicing and merging,have been designed as solutions to the privacy concerns for publishing big data.However,the major drawback of merging and slicing is the random permutation procedure,which does not always guarantee complete protection against attribute or membership disclosure.Moreover,merging procedures may generatemany fake tuples,leading to a loss of data utility and subsequent erroneous knowledge extraction.This study therefore proposes a slicingbased enhanced method for privacy-preserving big data publishing while maintaining the data utility.In particular,the proposed method distributes the data into horizontal and vertical partitions.The lower and upper protection levels are then used to identify the unique and identical attributes’values.The unique and identical attributes are swapped to ensure the published big data is protected from disclosure risks.The outcome of the experiments demonstrates that the proposed method could maintain data utility and provide stronger privacy preservation.

文摘Speech data publishing breaches users'data privacy,thereby causing more privacy disclosure.Existing work sanitizes content,voice,and voiceprint of speech data without considering the consistence among these three features,and thus is susceptible to inference attacks.To address the problem,we design a privacy-preserving protocol for speech data publishing(P3S2)that takes the corrections among the three factors into consideration.To concrete,we first propose a three-dimensional sanitization that uses feature learning to capture characteristics in each dimension,and then sanitize speech data using the learned features.As a result,the correlations among the three dimensions of the sanitized speech data are guaranteed.Furthermore,the(ε,δ)-differential privacy is used to theoretically prove both the data privacy preservation and the data utility guarantee of P3S2,filling the gap of algorithm design and performance evaluation.Finally,simulations on two real world datasets have demonstrated both the data privacy preservation and the data utility guarantee.

文摘The overgeneralisation may happen because most studies on data publishing for multiple sensitive attributes(SAs)have not considered the personalised privacy requirement.Furthermore,sensitive information disclosure may also be caused by these personalised requirements.To address the matter,this article develops a personalised data publishing method for multiple SAs.According to the requirements of individuals,the new method partitions SAs values into two categories:private values and public values,and breaks the association between them for privacy guarantees.For the private values,this paper takes the process of anonymisation,while the public values are released without this process.An algorithm is designed to achieve the privacy mode,where the selectivity is determined by the sensitive value frequency and undesirable objects.The experimental results show that the proposed method can provide more information utility when compared with previous methods.The theoretic analyses and experiments also indicate that the privacy can be guaranteed even though the public values are known to an adversary.The overgeneralisation and privacy breach caused by the personalised requirement can be avoided by the new method.

文摘In the digital era,the free cross-border flow of data and the development of digital trade are complementary.Consequently,as an inherent demand for data privacy,trade liberalization is closely linked to the right to data privacy,and data privacy protection is increasingly becoming a trade issue.However,conflicting rule settings between the two create discrepancies and result in differing rule-making approaches.The concept of the right to data privacy provides guidance and evaluative functions for the development of trade liberalization,facilitating the healthy development of digital trade.It is appropriate to treat the interaction between trade liberalization and data privacy protection in a rational way and to place them within independent systems at this stage.Data localization measures are an effective way to balance digital trade liberalization with the right to data privacy.As a data privacy protection measure,data localization has legitimacy within the trade law framework.Looking ahead,to achieve a harmonious advancement of digital trade liberalization and protection of the right to data privacy,all parties should uphold the premise of the national regulatory autonomy,and respect the data localization measures adopted by countries based on their own national conditions and personal data protection considerations.

文摘COVID-19 has swept the whole our country and the world in the beginning of 2020.31 provinces and municipalities across the country have launched the first-level response to major public health emergencies since January 24,and China has carried out intensive epidemic control.It is critical for effectively responding to COVID-19 to collect,collate and analyze people’s personal data.What’s more,obtaining identity information,travel records and health information of confirmed cases,suspected cases and close contacts has become a crucial step in epidemic investigation.All regions have made full use of big data to carry out personnel screening,travel records analysis and other related work in epidemic prevention and control,effectively improving the efficiency of epidemic prevention and control.However,data leakage,personnel privacy data exposure,and personal attack frequently occurred in the process of personnel travel records analysis and epidemic prevention and control.It even happened in the WeChat group to forward a person’s name,phone number,address,ID number and other sensitive information.It brought discrimination,telephone and SMS harassment to the parties,which caused great harm to individuals.Based on these,lack of information security and data security awareness and other issues were exposed.Therefore,while big data has been widely concerned and applied,attention should be paid to protecting personal privacy.It is urgent to pay more attention to data privacy and information security in order to effectively protect the legitimate rights of the people.Therefore,measures can be taken to achieve this goal,such as improving the relevant legal system,strengthening technical means to enhance the supervision and management of information security and data protection.
