Abstract: Over the past two decades, digital information collected by corporations, organisations and governments has created huge amount of datasets, and the speed of such data collection has increased exponentially over the last a few years because of the pervasiveness of computing devices. However, most of the collected datasets are personally related and contain private or sensitive information. Even though curators can apply several simple anonymization techniques, there is still a high probability that the sensitive information of individuals will be disclosed. Privacy-preserving has therefore become an urgent issue that needs to be addressed in the digital age.
