A system and method for automated determination of quasi-identifiers for sensitive data fields in a dataset are provided. In one aspect, the system and method identifies quasi-identifier fields in the dataset based upon a static analysis of program statements in a computer program having access to - sensitive data fields in the dataset. In another aspect, the system and method identifies quasi-identifier fields based upon a dynamic analysis of program statements in a computer program having access to -sensitive data fields in the dataset. Once such quasi-identifiers have been identified, the data stored in such fields may be anonymized using techniques such as k-anonymity. As a result, the data in the anonymized quasi-identifiers fields cannot be used to infer a value stored in a sensitive data field in the dataset. |
