Abstract:
| Integrating data from diverse sources with the aim to identify similar records that refer to the same real-world entities without compromising privacy of these entities is an emerging research problem in various domains. This problem is known as privacy preserving record linkage (PPRL). Despite the abundant number of literature on PPRL, a commonly accepted formal framework is still missing. In this paper, we focus on the two-party PPRL and provide an overview of the currently existing approaches and related works. Several desired properties of two-party PPRL are discussed, which may lay the foundation for a formal description of the process of two-party PPRL and sound definitions of system performance that allow the comparative evaluation of different PPRL techniques. |
