Abstract
Introduction: the exponential growth of data generation has led to an escalating concern for data privacy on a global scale. This work introduces a pioneering approach to address the often overlooked data privacy leakages associated with quasi-identifiers, leveraging artificial intelligence, machine learning and data correlation analysis as foundational tools. Traditional data privacy measures predominantly focus on anonymizing sensitive attributes and exact identifiers, leaving quasi-identifiers in their raw form, potentially exposing privacy vulnerabilities.Objective: the primary objective of the presented work, is to anonymise the quasi-identifiers to enhance the overall data privacy preservation with minimal data utility degradation.Methods: In this study, the authors propose the integration of ℓ-diversity data privacy algorithms with the OPTICS clustering technique and data correlation analysis to anonymize the quasi-identifiers.Results: to assess its efficacy, the proposed approach is rigorously compared against benchmark algorithms. The datasets used are - Adult dataset and Heart Disease Dataset from the UCI machine learning repository. The comparative metrics are - Relative Distance, Information Loss, KL Divergence and Execution Time.Conclusion: the comparative performance evaluation of the proposed methodology demonstrates its superiority over established benchmark techniques, positioning it as a promising solution for the requisite data privacy-preserving model. Moreover, this analysis underscores the imperative of integrating artificial intelligence (AI) methodologies into data privacy paradigms, emphasizing the necessity of such approaches in contemporary research and application domains
