Degree-Based Network Anonymization
Published 2020“…In this thesis, we study a new multi- objective parameterized anonymization approach that generalizes the known degree anonymization problem and attempts at improving it as a more realistic model for data security/privacy. Our model suggests a convenient privacy level for each net- work based on the standard deviation of its degrees. …”
