Combined fuzzy clustering and firefly algorithm for privacy preserving in social networks

作者:

Highlights:

• A combined fuzzy clustering and firefly algorithm (KFCFA) is presented.

• A constrained multi-objective function is introduced for privacy preserving in social networks.

• The proposed anonymity methodology can be performed at data level and graph level.

• Our methodology guarantees to fulfill K-anonymity, L-diversity and T-closeness conditions.

• The method is simulated over four social networks: Facebook, Google+, Twitter and Youtube.
