Abstract

In this paper, we address privacy breaches in transactional data where individuals have multiple tuples in a dataset. We provide a safe grouping principle to ensure that correlated values are grouped together in unique partitions that enforce l-diversity at the level of individuals. We conduct a set of experiments to evaluate privacy breach and the anonymization cost of safe grouping.
