  • Patent number: 12769878
    Abstract: A system and method that allows privacy-enhanced querying to occur, where re-identification risk is reduced to a user-configured level are described. The system and method include a query federation agent that analyses and augments user-submitted queries to include results that contain metadata relating to the privacy characteristics. The system and method ensure results that contain privacy risks above defined thresholds are suppressed or altered so that re-identification cannot occur. The system and method add noise to results that contain privacy risks above defined thresholds so that re-identification cannot occur. The system and method utilize a data profile that defines the sources of potential re-identification risk in a database schema. The system and method apply privacy rules that are configurable for different database tables and configurable thresholds for different types of privacy risks.
