Abstract: Traditional algorithms in hiding sensitive association rules do not consider the correlation between rules, which lead to a high ratio of hiding failure and a big side effect. We propose a new privacy preserving algorithm for sensitive association rules based on least transactions to be modified in this paper, which considers the correlation between sensitive rules sufficiently. The proposed algorithm first creates a table in the main memory, then for each sensitive rule, inserts all the information about modification rules which can decrease their support or confidence into the table. After that, it compares all the modification rules and removes the modification rules which will increase the support or confidence of some sensitive rules. Then the algorithm selects transactions which satisfy maximum modification rules characteristics to modify each time. Thus, it will need much less transactions to be modified overall. Theoretical analysis and the experiment results show that the proposed algorithm can not only reduce the ratio of hiding failure but also modify much less transactions, and it produces a small side effect.
