PRIVACY MEASUREMENT AND QUANTIFICATION

摘要

System(s) and method(s) to provide privacy measurement and privacy quantification of sensor data are disclosed. The sensor data is received from a sensor. The private content associated with the sensor data is used to calculate a privacy measuring factor by using entropy based information theoretic model. A compensation value with respect to distribution dissimilarity is determined. The compensation value compensates a statistical deviation in the privacy measuring factor. The compensation value and the privacy measuring factor are used to determine a privacy quantification factor. The privacy quantification factor is scaled with respect to a predefined finite scale to obtain at least one scaled privacy quantification factor to provide quantification of privacy of the sensor data.

1. A method to provide privacy measurement and privacy quantification of sensor data, the method comprising:
receiving sensor data from a sensor; calculating a privacy measuring factor with respect to a private content and a non-private content, wherein the private content and the non-private content are associated with the sensor data, wherein the privacy measuring factor is calculated by using a computation technique, and wherein the privacy measuring factor depicts an amount of privacy with respect to the private content; determining a compensation value with respect to a distribution dissimilarity of private content such that the compensation value compensates a statistical deviation in the privacy measuring factor, wherein the statistical deviation refers to a deviation in measurement of privacy while calculating the privacy measuring factor; determining a privacy quantification factor by using the compensation value and the privacy measuring factor; and scaling the privacy quantification factor with respect to a predefined finite scale to obtain at least one scaled privacy quantification factor, wherein the predefined scale comprises a finite set of values, and wherein each value from the finite set of values refers to quantification of privacy content associated with the sensor data; wherein the receiving, the identifying, the calculating, the determining the compensation value, the determining the privacy quantification factor and the scaling are performed by a processor.
