Summary

This paper proposes SDkA, an anonymity model that combines synthetic data with k-anonymity for data sharing. Synthetic data from a conditional generative adversarial network, together with an automated quality-fixing method, addresses size, quantity and diversity issues. Selective generalization is added to the k-anonymity model to avoid unnecessary generalization, and the authors report that SDkA defends against diverse attacks and improves utility over standard k-anonymity.
