Privacy Preserving Data Mining for Pharmacovigilance

Abstract

In this paper, visual cryptography concept is used for preserving the privacy of sensitive data used for pharmacovigilance. Overall analysis of adverse events of a specific drug helps in finding the potential danger of using the a specific drug. Preserving data owners privacy is done by using visual cryptography technique. Tetracycline drugs adverse effect present in FAERS dataset is extracted, encrypted and decrypted by the novel methodology proposed.
