Fake Injection Strategies for Private Phonetic Matching |
---|
In many aspects of everyday life, from education to health care
and from economics to homeland security, information exchange
involving both companies and agencies has become a common
everyday application. Locating same real world entities within
this information however is not trivial at all due to
insufficient identifying information, misspellings etc. The
problem becomes even more complicated when privacy
considerations arise. This description consists an informal
approach to the privacy preserving record linkage problem. In
this paper we provide a solution to this problem by examining
the alternatives offered by Phonetic Codes, a range of
algorithms which despite their age, are still used for record
linkage purposes. The main contribution of our work, as our
extensive experimental evaluation indicates, is that our
methodology manages to offer privacy guarantees for performing
Privacy Preserving Record Linkage without the need of
computationally expensive cryptographic methods.
