(LaTeX) Abstract:
A matrix~$M$ over a fixed alphabet is $k$-anonymous if every row
in~$M$ has at least~$k-1$ identical copies in~$M$. Making a matrix
$k$-anonymous by replacing a minimum number of entries with an additional
$\star$-symbol (called ``suppressing entries'') is known to be
NP-hard. This task arises in the context of privacy-preserving
publishing. We propose and analyze the computational complexity
of an enhanced anonymization model where the user of the
$k$-anonymized data may additionally ``guide'' the selection of
the candidate matrix entries to be suppressed. The basic idea is
to express this by means of ``pattern vectors'' which are part
of the input. This can also be interpreted as a sort of
clustering process. It is motivated by the observation that
the ``value'' of matrix entries may significantly differ, and
losing one (by suppression) may be more harmful than losing
the other, which again may very much depend on the intended use of the
anonymized data. We show that already very basic special cases
of our new model lead to NP-hard problems while others allow for
(fixed-parameter) tractability results.
