Classifying data is to automatically assign predefined classes to data. It is one of the main applications of data mining. Having complete access to all data is critical for building accurate models. Data can be highly sensitive, such as biomedical data, which cannot be disclosed or shared with third party, because it can harm individuals and organizations. The challenge is how to preserve privacy and usefulness of data. Privacy preserving classification addresses this problem. Collaborative models are constructed over networks without violating the data owners' privacy. In this article, the authors address two problems: privacy records deduplication of the same records and privacy-preserving classification. They propose a randomized hash technic for deduplication and an enhanced privacy preserving classification of biomedical data over horizontally distributed data based on two homomorphic encryptions. No private, intermediate or final results are disclosed. Experimentations show that their solution is efficient and secure without loss of accuracy.

The data distributors work is to give sensitive data to a set of presumably trusted third party agents.The data i.e., sent to these third parties are available on the unauthorized places like web and or some ones systems, due to data leakage. The distributor must know the way the data was leaked from one or more agents instead of as opposed to having been independently gathered by other means. Our new proposal on data allocation strategies will improve the probability of identifying leakages along with Security attacks typically result from unintended behaviors or invalid inputs.  Due to too many invalid inputs in the real world programs is labor intensive about security testing.The most desirable thing is to automate or partially automate security-testing process. In this paper we represented Predicate/ Transition nets approach for security tests automated generationby using formal threat models to detect the agents using allocation strategies without modifying the original data.The guilty agent is the one who leaks the distributed data. To detect guilty agents more effectively the idea is to distribute the data intelligently to agents based on sample data request and explicit data request. The fake object implementation algorithms will improve the distributor chance of detecting guilty agents.

Social networking services are increasingly accessed through mobile devices. This trend has prompted services such as Facebook and Google+to incorporate location as a de facto feature of user interaction. At the same time, services based on location such as Foursquare and Shopkick are also growing as smartphone market penetration increases. In fact, this growth is happening despite concerns (growing at a similar pace) about security and third-party use of private location information (e.g., for advertising). Nevertheless, service providers have been unwilling to build truly private systems in which they do not have access to location information. In this paper, we describe an architecture and a trial implementation of a privacy-preserving location sharing system called ILSSPP. The system protects location information from the service provider and yet enables fine grained location-sharing. One main feature of the system is to protect an individual’s social network structure. The pattern of location sharing preferences towards contacts can reveal this structure without any knowledge of the locations themselves. ILSSPP protects locations sharing preferences through protocol unification and masking. ILSSPP has been implemented as a standalone solution, but the technology can also be integrated into location-based services to enhance privacy.

Healthcare providers are legally bound to ensure the privacy preservation of healthcare metadata. Usually, privacy concerning research focuses on providing technical and inter-/intra-organizational solutions in a fragmented manner. In this wake, an overarching evaluation of the fundamental (technical, organizational, and third-party) privacy-preserving measures in healthcare metadata handling is missing. Thus, this research work provides a multilevel privacy assurance evaluation of privacy-preserving measures of the Dutch healthcare metadata landscape. The normative and empirical evaluation comprises the content analysis and process mining discovery and conformance checking techniques using real-world healthcare datasets. For clarity, we illustrate our evaluation findings using conceptual modeling frameworks, namely e3-value modeling and REA ontology. The conceptual modeling frameworks highlight the financial aspect of metadata share with a clear description of vital stakeholders, their mutual interactions, and respective exchange of information resources. The frameworks are further verified using experts’ opinions. Based on our empirical and normative evaluations, we provide the multilevel privacy assurance evaluation with a level of privacy increase and decrease. Furthermore, we verify that the privacy utility trade-off is crucial in shaping privacy increase/decrease because data utility in healthcare is vital for efficient, effective healthcare services and the financial facilitation of healthcare enterprises.

Energy storage provides an effective way of shifting temporal energy demands and supplies, which enables significant cost reduction under time-of-use energy pricing plans. Despite its promising benefits, the cost of present energy storage remains expensive, presenting a major obstacle to practical deployment. A more viable solution to improve the cost-effectiveness is by sharing energy storage, such as community sharing, cloud energy storage and peer-to-peer sharing. However, revealing private energy demand data to an external energy storage operator may compromise user privacy, and is susceptible to data misuses and breaches. In this paper, we explore a novel approach to support energy storage sharing with privacy protection, based on privacy-preserving blockchain and secure multi-party computation. We present an integrated solution to enable privacy-preserving energy storage sharing, such that energy storage service scheduling and cost-sharing can be attained without the knowledge of individual users' demands. It also supports auditing and verification by the grid operator via blockchain. Furthermore, our privacy-preserving solution can safeguard against a majority of dishonest users, who may collude in cheating, without requiring a trusted third-party. We implemented our solution as a smart contract on real-world Ethereum blockchain platform, and provided empirical evaluation in this paper 1 .

The electronic sharing of medical imaging data is an important element of modern healthcare systems, but current infrastructure for cross-site image transfer depends on trust in third-party intermediaries. In this work, we examine the blockchain concept, which enables parties to establish consensus without relying on a central authority. We develop a framework for cross-domain image sharing that uses a blockchain as a distributed data store to establish a ledger of radiological studies and patient-defined access permissions. The blockchain framework is shown to eliminate third-party access to protected health information, satisfy many criteria of an interoperable health system, and readily generalize to domains beyond medical imaging. Relative drawbacks of the framework include the complexity of the privacy and security models and an unclear regulatory environment. Ultimately, the large-scale feasibility of such an approach remains to be demonstrated and will depend on a number of factors which we discuss in detail.

In privacy-enhancing technology, it has been inevitably challenging to strike a maintain balance between privacy, efficiency and usability (utility). We propose a highly practical and efficient approach for privacy-preserving integration and sharing of datasets among a group of participants. At the heart of our solution is a new interactive protocol, Secure Channel. Through Secure Channel, each participant is able to randomize their datasets via an independent and untrusted third party, such that the resulting dataset can be merged with other randomized datasets contributed by other participants group in a privacy-preserving manner. Our process does not require any public or key sharing between participants in order to integrate different datasets. This, in turn, leads to a user can understand and use easily and scalable solution. Moreover, the accuracy of a randomized dataset which are returned by the third party can be securely verified by the other participant of group. We further demonstrate Secure Channel’s general utilities, using it to construct a structure preserving data integration protocol. This is mainly useful for, good quality integration of network traffic data.
