AbstractProtecting privacy of individuals is a basic right, which has to be considered in our data-centered society in which new technologies emerge rapidly. To preserve the privacy of individuals de-identifying technologies have been developed including pseudonymization, personal privacy anonymization, and privacy models. Each having several variations with different properties and contexts which poses the challenge for the proper selection and application of de-identification methods. We tackle this challenge proposing a policy-based de-identification test framework for a systematic approach to experimenting and evaluation of various combinations of methods and their interplay. Evaluation of the experimental results regarding performance and utility is considered within the framework. We propose a domain-specific language, expressing the required complex configuration options, including data-set, policy generator, and various de-identification methods.
