Anonymizing answers to queries in relational databases
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11960624B2) discloses a system for anonymizing answers to queries sent to a relational database. The system involves obtaining the query, determining attribute frequencies in the database, creating an anonymization rule set based on these frequencies, generating an anonymized answer with k-anonymity, and controlling a display based on the answer. The system allows for the suppression of certain attributes in the answer to maintain privacy and security.
Furthermore, the patent details a method for applying k-anonymity to query answers in a relational database. This method involves obtaining the query, determining attribute frequencies, creating an anonymization rule set, generating an anonymized answer with k-anonymity, and controlling a display based on the answer. By utilizing settings for k, the method ensures the appropriate level of anonymity is maintained in the response. The method also includes steps for separating records based on attribute frequencies and utilizing decision tree data structures to extract binary conditions for the anonymization rule set. Overall, the patent aims to enhance data privacy and security in relational database queries through effective anonymization techniques.
