In-Memory Perturbation Optimizer Algorithm for Data Privacy on an Anonymous Server

Abstract

The emergence of data controllers as a novel term within data privacy laws, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), has ushered in significant responsibilities. Stricter regulations prohibit the intentional sharing of personal records on the Internet. This research focuses on safeguarding data privacy, specifically in ubiquitous tabular formats across numerous websites. A novel approach employing a cell-key perturbation method is proposed, demonstrating efficacy in tabular formats. Addressing this challenge, we introduce the in-memory perturbation optimizer (IMPO) algorithm as a novel solution. The primary objective is to create and develop a platform that secures all personal data through a dispenser server, operating in near real-time. Also, it emphasizes the importance of balancing data utility with privacy protection to maintain the integrity and quality of the dataset. Experimental results reveal that the IMPO algorithm outperforms in terms of data accuracy. Additionally, the algorithm introduces an average time delay of 2 seconds, ensuring optimal time service for real-time datasets.
