Security And Privacy Challenges in Data Mining

Prof. Aashish H Kacha

Abstract :

given the rising privacy concerns, the data mining community has faced a new challenge. Having shown how effective its tools are in revealing the knowledge locked within huge databases, it is now required to develop methods that restrain the power of these tools to protect the privacy of individuals. The question how these two contrasting goals, mining new knowledge while protecting individuals’ privacy, can be reconciled, is the focus of this research. We seek ways to improve the tradeoff between privacy and utility when mining data.
