Hybrid Anonymization Technique For Improving The Privacy In Network Data

There has been a considerable research over the last decades on methods for limiting disclosure in data publishing, especially for the last twenty years in the computer science field. Researchers have studied the problems of publishing microdata or network data without revealing any sensitive inform...
