3.1 Social Perspective and Motivation

Privacy is a societally very relevant concept that can be formalized with mathematical tools of information theory. Today, private information about individuals is distributed in multiple databases (e.g., social networks). Even if a user cares about anonymization (no name, no address), this will not completely protect individuals from being identified. Data can be combined and linked from multiple sources, and, therefore, an individual can be reidentified. To quantify this risk, information theoretic measures are recently used ...
