Common length name representation: an efficient privacy-preserving scheme

摘要: Privacy-preserving record linkage is a valuable tool in various domains including the healthcare sector. Patient information usually available parts at more than one health organization. Given its sensitive nature, and laws that protect patient privacy, these organizations cannot simply identify their patients to another order complete medical records. Yet, records lead informed decisions by doctors, therefore resulting higher quality of care. There are many methods literature attempt represent identity an individual privacy-preserving way allow linkage. However, most techniques subject frequency attacks. We present novel scheme for representing name manner guards against attacks, allows small typing mistakes, efficient when linking large datasets.
