Abstract

This paper proposes a method to anonymize network trace data by utilizing a novel perturbation technique that has strong privacy guarantee and at the same time preserves data utility. The resulting dataset can be used for security analysis, retaining the utility of the original dataset, without revealing sensitive information. Our method utilizes a condensation based approach with strong privacy guarantees, suited for cloud environments. Experiments show that the method performs better than existing anonymization techniques in terms of privacy-utility trade off, and it surpasses existing techniques in attack prediction accuracy.
