Practical Data Privacy


Book Description

Between major privacy regulations like the GDPR and CCPA and expensive and notorious data breaches, there has never been so much pressure for data scientists to ensure data privacy. Unfortunately, integrating privacy into your data science workflow is still complicated. This essential guide will give you solid advice and best practices on breakthrough privacy-enhancing technologies such as encrypted learning and differential privacy--as well as a look at emerging technologies and techniques in the field. Practical Data Privacy answers important questions such as: What do privacy regulations like GDPR and CCPA mean for my project? What does "anonymized data" really mean? Should I anonymize the data? If so, how? Which privacy techniques fit my project and how do I incorporate them? What are the differences and similarities between privacy-preserving technologies and methods? How do I utilize an open-source library for a privacy-enhancing technique? How do I ensure that my projects are secure by default and private by design? How do I create a plan for internal policies or a specific data project that incorporates privacy and security from the start?

Practical Synthetic Data Generation


Book Description

Building and testing machine learning models requires access to large and diverse data. But where can you find usable datasets without running into privacy issues? This practical book introduces techniques for generating synthetic data—fake data generated from real data—so you can perform secondary analysis to do research, understand customer behaviors, develop new products, or generate new revenue.

Linking Sensitive Data


Book Description

This book provides modern technical answers to the legal requirements of pseudonymisation as recommended by privacy legislation. It covers topics such as modern regulatory frameworks for sharing and linking sensitive information, concepts and algorithms for privacy-preserving record linkage and their computational aspects, practical considerations such as dealing with dirty and missing data, as well as privacy, risk, and performance assessment measures. Existing techniques for privacy-preserving record linkage are evaluated empirically and real-world application examples that scale to population sizes are described. The book also includes pointers to freely available software tools, benchmark data sets, and tools to generate synthetic data that can be used to test and evaluate linkage techniques. This book consists of fourteen chapters grouped into four parts, and two appendices. The first part introduces the reader to the topic of linking sensitive data, the second part covers methods and techniques to link such data, the third part discusses aspects of practical importance, and the fourth part provides an outlook of future challenges and open research problems relevant to linking sensitive databases. The appendices provide pointers and describe freely available, open-source software systems that allow the linkage of sensitive data, and provide further details about the evaluations presented. A companion Web site at https://dmm.anu.edu.au/lsdbook2020 provides additional material and Python programs used in the book. This book is mainly written for applied scientists, researchers, and advanced practitioners in governments, industry, and universities who are concerned with developing, implementing, and deploying systems and tools to share sensitive information in administrative, commercial, or medical databases. The Book describes how linkage methods work and how to evaluate their performance. It covers all the major concepts and methods and also discusses practical matters such as computational efficiency, which are critical if the methods are to be used in practice - and it does all this in a highly accessible way!
