Abstract


Data in data warehouse often contains sensitive information, the concept of PrivacyPreserving has recently been proposed in response to the concerns of preserving

sensitive information derived from published rules. A number of privacy preserving

data publishing (PPDP) have been proposed. In this paper an algorithm proposed for

hiding published rules that leads to disclosure of sensitive information by determining

the confidence value of those rules from the raw data before running association rule

mining using prior and posterior probabilities of generated rules and pass those

confidence values to data miner to take it in his account when determining minimum

confidence threshold in association rule mining algorithms .The experimental results

show that the run time for deriving sensitive rules is stabile for different confidence

values in comparison with other methods running linear programming methods for

finding sensitive published rules. The most derived rules from goal rules (the rules

derived from sensitive rules with minimum confidence value) located between 0.5

and 0.8 and these range of confidence values are critical values for data miner, finally

experimental results shows that with support values %40,%58, and %63 still there is

amount of derived published rules appears, and these results means that even with

large minimum support threshold still derived published rules appears in association

rule algorithms.
