Privacy Preserving Data Mining using Jaya based Genetic Algorithm

Abstract

Privacy protection has emerged as a key concern in the field of data mining because of the rise in the sharing of sensitive data across networks among organizations, governments, and other parties. For   knowledge extraction from these huge set of data, association rule mining is used to analyze the patterns of data. For a variety of optimization issues encountered in the real world, evolutionary algorithms (EAs) offer efficient solutions. The available EA solutions in the privacy-preserving area are limited to specific issues like cost function evaluation. Here, a JAYA based Genetic algorithm has been proposed for privacy preservation.“JAYA” means victory a word from Sanskrit origin..This algorithm doesn't need any parameters that are specific to it and it moves towards best solution avoiding the worst. Hence the name Jaya. Jaya based genetic algorithm is applied to original dataset of chromosomes. Privacy preservation is achieved by comparing the support of original dataset of chromosome with the simulation output.
