This book presents the data privacy protection which has been
extensively applied in our current era of big data. However, research
into big data privacy is still in its infancy. Given the fact that
existing protection methods can result in low data utility and
unbalanced trade-offs, personalized privacy protection has become a
rapidly expanding research topic.In this book, the authors explore
emerging threats and existing privacy protection methods, and discuss in
detail both the advantages and disadvantages of personalized privacy
protection. Traditional methods, such as differential privacy and
cryptography, are discussed using a comparative and intersectional
approach, and are contrasted with emerging methods like federated
learning and generative adversarial nets.
The advances discussed cover various applications, e.g. cyber-physical
systems, social networks, and location-based services. Given its scope,
the book is of interest to scientists, policy-makers, researchers, and
postgraduates alike.
