Sensitive association rules hiding using electromagnetic field optimization algorithm

作者:

Highlights:

• The proposed method hides sensitive rules using electromagnetic field optimization.

• Several sensitive association rules are hided simultaneously in the method.

• The proposed method also has fewer lost rules than other well-known algorithms.

• Two fitness functions are proposed to find the solution with minimum side effects.

• The method is evaluated on both real-world and synthetic datasets.
